John Moreland Your Spell song lyrics

Well you know I used to love you, but now I don"t think I can

And it ain"t you, it"s just that feeling"s more than I can stand

I guess 9 or 10 years of failure will do that to a man

I hope you understand

We were 18 years of anger, bitter as the cold

And baby, we knew emptiness like a panhandle road

We"d pretend that we were dying, trying to survive

And make it through those high school nights alive

Remember the prom kings and queens, praised from afar

And how the lights inside the high school made them look like movie stars

Well you were the queen of my condition

I was the king of the ignored

You talked just like East Texas

Looked like an angel from the lord

I thought we"d bust out of Broken Arrow

Holding hands on our way to hell

You always did have me under your spell

And all those pretty girls who looked like movie stars

They look pretty ordinary, 28 years old

Checking out at Walmart with babies in their arms
