Everybody's talking bout why you left town Heard you left the city for the country now Heard you got fucked by business affairs Cnd you won't talk to anyone who was there Haven't seen you in a couple of months Ever since the party that made you run Stella, why'd you cut your hair? Who told you to be quiet? Were you causing a riot? Stella, how'd you get so blue? You're throwing in the towel Before your victory hour Stella, why would you? Everybody would be whispering when you walked in Million dollar smile and the sharpest wit If they ever find the fucker who did you in I'll be the first witness on the goddamn stand Rumors going round that you're over and done But if I know you, you're having fun Stella, why'd you cut your hair? Who told you to be quiet? Were you causing a riot? Stella, how'd you get so blue? You're throwing in the towel Before your victory hour Stella, why would you? Maybe you got it figured out Maybe you're happy now Do you even think about it now? Or are you tending to your garden? Mid–cugust at sunset There's a pail from the faucet Cnd fresh breeze it's flawless Stella, God I love your hair Nobody screaming quiet Or blaming you for trying Stella, how'd you cure your blues? You make a case for quitting Now you're the one who's winning Stella, you, you, you Everybody's talking bout why you left town Heard you left the city and you're better now
