Ric Ocasek
Platinum Blonde Life
[Verse 1]
I'm closing out the curtains
So don't you even bother
And they're calling out murder
But I'm underneath the covers

[Pre-Chorus 1]
And who's fooling who with this mood like a train
Watch me roll over, get out of my way

[Chorus]
And there's a knock on my door, but I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away

[Verse 2]
I want a platinum-blonde life
So I keep bleaching out the color (bleaching out the color)
I try to do what I oughta
But never drink enough water

[Pre-Chorus 2]
And where did my lamb go? I wish he could stay
I feel as empty as a widow, I'm gonna sleep it all away

[Chorus]
And there's a knock on my door, but I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away
[Bridge]
I'm going to sleep all through the day
I'm going to sleep my life away
I'm going to sleep all through the day
I'm going to sleep myself away
I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away
(Away, away, away)
Shhh

[Chorus]
And there's a knock on my door, but I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away
And there's a knock on my door, but I'm not gonna open it
I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away

[Outro]
I'm gonna close my eyes, and maybe it'll go away
