Una Walkenhorst - Pretty Face Lyrics

Oh, Matty, babe, left me in Portland
And here I was thinking I was important
But I'm taking advice from the kids in the street
And I'm headed down south where it's all supposed to be

I'm going where I don't recognize the brands
Where parked cars are singing songs from my big sister's walkman
There's man dancing in the lot on the peak of the mountain
They're high as the moon with youth like a fountain

So, Eugene, Eugene, take me
Oh, Eugene, Eugene, take me
To where I can hear my thoughts again

The people here have names out of books I haven't read
With houses made of gardens, sunflowers above my head
And just when you think it's them against me
They'll remind that there's still good company

And so I welcome all the danger I am facing
And I will laugh when people talk about all the time I must be wasting
Cuz I'll find my voice, and I'll find my place
And he'll always be just a pretty face

So, Eugene, Eugene, take me
Oh, Eugene, Eugene, take me
To where my body can breathe again
To where I am not my only friend
Take me to where lonely ends
