Lyrics for Song: Victoria (a.k.a. Victoria Lee)
Lyrics for Album: Other Songs - Old 97s
This is the story of Victoria Lee
She started off on Percodan and ended up with me
She lived in Berkeley 'til the earthquake shook her loose
She lives in Texas now where nothin' ever moves
Victoria, you talk so low that no one else can hear
Unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear
This is the story of Victoria Lee
She started on Rohypinol and ended up with me
You'd like to think they're your friends
But they're not your friends
And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know
Oh, don't you know?
You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie
You see through me, but it's true
And in the end you'll know
Victoria, don't go, Victoria, Victoria, don't go
This is the story of Victoria's heart
You might think it's stupid but I still think it's art
She lost her lover to an accident at sea
She pushed him overboard and ended up with me
Victoria, you dance so fast that no one else can see
Victoria, I hope you use just one more dance for me
This is the story of Victoria's heart
It's a really big one, and I don't know where to start
(Occasionally used on early versions of, 'Victoria Lee')
You'd like to think they're your friends
But they're not your friends
And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know
Oh, don't you know?
You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie
You see through me but it's true
And in the end you'll know
Victoria, don't go, Victoria, Victoria, don't go
