Laura Lyrics
[Verse 1]
You say that they've all left you behind
Your heart broke when the party died
Drape your arms around me and softly say
"Can we dance upon the tables again?"
[Pre-Chorus]
When your smile is so wide and your heels are so high
You can't cry
Get your glad rags on and let's sing along
To that lonely song
[Chorus]
You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Ooh, Laura, you're more than a superstar
And in this horror show
I've got to tell you so
Ooh, Laura, you're more than a superstar
[Verse 2]
You say that you're stuck in a pale blue dream
And your tears feel hot on my bed sheets
Drape your arms around me and softly say
"Can we dance upon the tables again?"
[Pre-Chorus]
When your smile is so wide and your heels are so high
You can't cry
Get your glad rags on and let's sing along
To that lonely song
[Chorus]
You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Ooh, Laura, you're more than a superstar
You'll be famous for longer than them
Your name is tattooed on every boy's skin
Ooh, Laura, you're more than a superstar
[Bridge]
Ooh, ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh, ooh
[Chorus]
You're the train that crashed my heart
You're the glitter in the dark
Ooh, Laura, you're more than a superstar
And in this old horror show
I've got to let you know
Ooh, Laura, you're more than a superstar
You're more than a superstar
