I walked around in the dead of night, it’s alright
Black-yellow tee, yeah I’m lookin’ fine – outta sight
Up comes Lucy with her long black hair
White leather heels and a red-hot stare
Drop the shades, I’m calling her name
Baby she’s my Rushmore
And I wish that I could give more
But you know that
Lucy gets what Lucy wants
Lucy’s getting what I got
She’s got the line, I’m on the hook, one bite is all it took
My heart it skips, I’m doin’ flips for those red rosy lips
She eggs me on with those wicked dark eyes
Another go and I might just die
It’s all a game I’m calling her name
Baby she’s my Rushmore
And I wish that I could give more
But we know that
Lucy gets what Lucy wants
Lucy’s getting what I got
I’m all carved up and my heart is on a spit
And I won’t quit
And I should quit
Oh what have I done?
Oh what have I done?
You played my heart
You held the cards
You cast the parts
And I didn’t get squat
You stole the pot
You called the shots
You gave the lot
And all I got was a rock
Oh what have I done?
Oh what have I done?
I was a tool
I played the fool
Got took to school
Put in the corner by you
I missed the signs
I took the line
Got put aside
And I wasted my time
I wasted my time
I wasted it, for you
I flipped over backwards, breaking my back
Twisting my arm, for you
I called out your name, in the pouring rain
Lucy my love
Lucy, my Rushmore.
