Lyrics for The town halo as interpreted by Kurt Russell

The town halo Lyrics
Up through the crystal, nineteen and counting,
And miles away, a voice from the mountain.
Back from the program, our own girl Jesus,
So proud to say we love her to pieces. We do.
So tell us the story again, of how you became the town halo.
Up through the crystal, raised on mythology,
She winds her way from truth to apology,
Topless in new wings, free for the taking,
And miles away, a foundation shaking for you
So tell us the story again, of how you became the town halo.
Under construction but based on a true one,
The facts will change so tell us what you want.
Air from a bottle, the press can't breathe it.
We're proud to say we love her to pieces. We do.
So tell us the story again, of how you became the town halo.

great song!

i believe this is about a girl whom everyone thinks is an angel, when she really isn't. and when the town finds out how bad she is, she covers it up with lie after lie to keep up this good reputation of hers.

I love how he pretty much yells "halo." And the strings in the background are pretty bad ass.

This is my favorite of Carl's solo songs, and that's pretty much entirely because of the strings.

I like your interpretation, plsygroundlove. I'd take it a step further and posit that the song might be about one or many of the American fallen teen queens, like Britney or Lindsay, who traded originally on their wholesome image & then blew it once they started getting photographed sans undergarments, etc.
