After The Meteor Showers - Alejandro Escovedo

She was pretty as a starlet

Take a photo, please

Her skin was soft white luminescence

Like a candle in the wild wind

You can blame the stars

You can blame the wind

You can blame the meteor showers

Or the original sin

Her mind was deep and sharp like poison

And like poison I drank it up

Her lips were red hot like fire

Like fire in a pewter cup

You can blame the stars

You can blame the wind

You can blame the meteor showers

Or the original sin

She was pretty as a starlet

Take a photo, please

Her skin was hot white luminescence

Like a candle in the vicious wind

You can blame the stars

You can blame the wind

You can blame the meteor showers

Or the original sin

You can blame the stars

You can blame the wind

You can blame the meteor showers

Or the original sin
