Tonya Harding (In Eb major)

Tonya Harding (In Eb major) - Sufjan Stevens

Tonya Harding my star

Well this world is a cold one

But it takes one to know one

And God only knows what you are

Just some Portland white trash

You confronted your sorrow

Like there was no tomorrow

While the rest of the world only laughed

Triple axel on high

A delightful disaster

You jumped farther and faster

You were always so full of surprises

Are your laces untied

What's the frown on your face for

And just what are the skates for now

Tell me which is your good side

Are you lonely at night

Do you miss all the glory

Or the mythical story

Of the Olympian life

Yamaguchi in red

She had high rise and roses

And red carpet poses

And her outfit was splendid

Nancy Kerrigan's charm

Well she took quite a beating

So you're not above cheating

Can you blame her for crying

Tonya you were the brightest

Yeah you rose from the ashes

And survived all the crashes

Wiping the blood from your white tights

Has the world had it's fun

Yeah they'll make such a hassle

And they'll build you a castle

Then destroy it when they're done

Tonya Harding my friend

Well this world is a b***h girl

Don't end up in a ditch girl

I'll be watching you close to the end

So fight on as you are

My American princess

May God bless you with incense

You're my shining American star

You're my shining American star

You're my shining American star
