I was well on my way to fame and glory
Just-a-ramblin' down the highway when along comes this pretty thing brakin' for me
Was I goin' her way? Oh and how!
Well I wish I knew then what I know now about that
Woman drivin' that hot pink autombile
I looked up and the sky was burnin' in the sun
Far away I thought I heard a drum
It was a sign that sweet oblivion was comin'
Oh but Christine was a queen of lies
So pristine, come on babe anesthetize me
But I sure ain't one to criticize so I jumped in
I just jumped in with my
Oh Christine, darlin', sweet Christine
You gave a nice boy like me somethin' to believe in
I gotta warn you, I think adore you
This song is for you, Christine
I was hangin' on a thread in the heartland with nowhere to fall
I'm tryin' so hard to remember, but I just don't recall
Things were somehow different, and I couldn't put my finger on this
Daddy's girl, but Daddy never came
So he built a house out by the pool
Where sweet Christine could call the rules
But who was playin' who for the fool and who was cheatin'?
'Cause I was all doped up on prescription meds
And buyin' what the guy on the TV said
While lyin' on her futon bed from Sweden
Where the f-ck is Sweden?
Oh Christine, darlin', my Gucci queen
You gave a poor boy like me somethin' to believe in
Who cares who bored who, and who was a whore for whom?
This song is for you
Christine, baby, come on and kiss me
Set me free from this little daydream you call reality
This world ain't gonna miss me
So come on and wake me up
I was well on my way, but now I'm going down
I woke up in a haze, it had been fifteen days since my feet had touched the ground!
I jumped the picket fence and hitched a ride on the road back to innocence
But it was just a dream, and now I'm tryin' to find the door
Oh Christine, honestly
I believe, I believe things ain't what they were before
But I ain't sore at you, I can't believe I scored you!
But that's life for you
This song is for you
This song is for you, Christine
