Cavalier Lyrics - O' Be Joyful - Shovels & Rope

She was a livewire, she was stuck in the past 

I was holding the middle, you was waking up fast 

It was four in the morning, she was holding on tight 

to a David Bowie look a like circa '85 

Now he's turning up his amplifier, staring at his toes 

Even when he's looking at you he's still looking down his nose 

Sounds like surf music maybe more than just a little 

But to me it's just another form of California dribble 

The top and bottom look straight to me but shaky in the middle 

Well there's something to be learned here 

Though it may seem a little insincere 

Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear 

You're a country singer I'm a cavalier 

Well I wanna know the whole story over 

Where you came from, where you going, 

However long it takes to know you 

With your heavy metal heartbeat 

Salty but you seem sweet 

Tippy toes on both feet 

Rockin to the teen beat 

Well, ice cream, soda pop, bourbon on top 

Some people call it rock and roll and some people call it pop 

Some call it country music every time you use a fiddle 

How am I supposed to know if that's a fact or just a riddle? 

Too tight around the edges, leave a little room to wiggle. 

Well there's something to be learned here 

Though it may seem a little insincere 

Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear 

You're a country singer, I'm a cavalier 

Oh oo oh oo oh [x8] 

Well there's something to be learned here 

Though it may seem a little insincere 

Like a cruel clown grinning ear to ear 

You're a psycho killer, I'm a cavalier
