Stevie
Stevie was a connoisseur
Everybody wanted to be her
She chose her friends as carefully as she chose her words
She was so sure about it all

Oh Stevie was a hero once
Had all the things I'd never touched
She wrote in sterling silver with a ballpoint pen
A cold blooded chameleon

Oh Stevie, oh Stevie
Why can't you see
You're a god to me?

Oh Stevie, oh Stevie
Why can't you see
You're a god to me?

Stevie was an ice maiden
Not sure really worth saving
Alcatraz has nothing on her after all this time
Still I didn't search behind those eyes

Oh, Stevie where're you going to?
Oh, you're as tight lipped as a bottle all screwed
If I had the chance to peer inside your mind
And give up your mystery, oh, I'd think twice
Oh Stevie, oh Stevie
Why can't you see
You're a god to me?

Oh Stevie, oh Stevie
Why can't you see
You're a god to me?

Tea-leaves in the cup
You're a good friend of mine
How the sober are
Thirsty for the sweet wine

Oh, now that Stevie has
Locked her keys in her mind
Oh, got to open up
Lay herself on the line
(lay herself on the line)

Tea-leaves in the cup
You're a good friend of mine
How the sober are
Thirsty for the sweet wine

Now that Stevie has
Locked her keys in her mind
(in her mind)
Got to open up
Lay herself on the line
(lay herself on the line)
Tea-leaves in the cup
You're a good friend of mine
How the sober are
Thirsty for the sweet wine

Oh Stevie, oh Stevie
Why can't you see
You're a god to me?

Oh Stevie, oh Stevie
Why can't you see
Oh give in to me?
