Wig in a Box Hedwig and the Angry Inch - Original Cast

[Verse 1]
On nights like this
When the world's a bit amiss
And the lights go down
Across the trailer park
I get down, I feel had
Feel on the verge of going mad
Then it's time to punch the clock

[Chorus]
And put on some makeup
Turn on the tape deck
And put the wig back on my head
Suddenly I'm Miss Midwest Midnight Checkout Queen
Until I head home and I put myself to bed

[Verse 2]
I look back on where I'm from
Look at the woman I've become
And the strangest things seem suddenly routine
I look up from my vermouth on the rocks
A gift-wrapped wig still in the box
Of touring velveteen

[Chorus]
I put on some makeup
Some LaVern Baker
And pull the wig down from the shelf
Suddenly I'm Miss Beehive 1963
Until I wake up and I turn back to myself
