lyrics

Copper Steel Aluminum
paid for by the pound
crushed into another life
in another town

As the crow flies
happiness ain’t far away
I walk these circles
most of the night and the day

Do you know my name?
Did you know my man?
Have you held a sweet thing
and had it slip from your hand?

When I die I will go easy
while I'm here I just do as I can
and this misery well it won't always be
and I'm counting on that
I'm counting on that

Highway like a fur collar
wrapped around the neck of my town
it gets hotter and hotter
and the mink gets more tightly wound

I was your daughter
in my 16th year
I had never known the blues
but thats what you wanted to hear

I sang in beauty
and was praised by everyone
I sang it truthful
like I knew what would come

When I’m done I will go easy
for now I just do as I can
and this misery well it won’t always be
and I’m counting on that
I’m counting on that

And the scream of glass on glass
from the screaming of my name
silver, pearls, diamond rings
to copper and steel what a shame
