I could shut down the city,
throw you a parade
With circus tents and elephants,
firework displays
I could be barnum or bailey,
an army of rockettes
But I can’t compete with her in that dress
I could build a home for orphans,
walk across the Nile
Find a cure for cancer,
help your parents reconcile
I could be shot out of a cannon,
land on your front step
But I can’t compete with her in that dress
An unnerving sensation,
a disturbing relationship
In which I’m envious of bumps in the night
I could show you how I love you
every second of every day
Tell you oh you are free to go
but welcome to stay
I could guard your darkest secrets,
deep down in my chest
But I can’t compete with her in that dress
No I can’t compete with her in that dress

“She takes chance after chance on her delightful new album, Mystery Prize…There’s no mystery here, the girl has talent!”
– James Kelly (Creative Loafing, Atlanta)
“Like something familiar that you’ve never heard before…She whittles things down to the bare bones, allowing stark, vivid chord progressions and slow arpeggios to drip through the songs like honey.”
– Johnny Black (High Plains Public Radio, Amarillo TX)
