"Victoria" lyrics - OLD 97'S

This is the story of Victoria Lee
She started off on Percodan and ended up with me
She lived in Berkeley 'til the earthquake shook her loose
She lives in Texas now where nothin' ever moves

Victoria you talk so low that no one else can hear
Unless you point your megaphone directly at their ear
This is the story of Victoria Lee
She started on Rohypinol and ended up with me

You'd like to think they're your friends, but they're not your friends
And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know, oh don't you know?
You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie, you see through me, but it's true
And in the end you'll know, Victoria don't go. Victoria, Victoria don't go

This is the story of Victoria's heart
You might think it's stupid, but I still think it's art
She lost her lover to an accident at sea
She pushed him overboard and ended up with me

Victoria, you dance so fast that no one else can see
Victoria I hope you use just one more dance for me
This is the story of Victoria's heart
It's a really big one, and I don't know where to start
(Occasionally used on early versions of "Victoria Lee")

You'd like to think they're your friends, but they're not your friends
And in the end a friend's the one you'll never know, oh don't you know?
You'd like to think you're groovy, it's your movie, you see through me, but it's true
And in the end you'll know, Victoria don't go. Victoria, Victoria don't go
