She's the kind of lady that calls everybody baby | |
Honey, sugar, sweetie, she's always making friends | |
And she keeps us all locked outside her thick leather skin | |
She always starts with a smile, it's small and butter yellow | |
But easier than a handshake, doesn't like her hands touched | |
She tans alot, gets burnt alot, smoking through the cartons | |
But then gets put out so much, she's considered a bargain | |
She was born on the fourth of july with her hand on her heart | |
Loves america, and being patronized, no one ever told her to guard her heart | |
She was an angel for Halloween once, but never again | |
And for Christmas ever year she's haunted by demons | |
They always tell her they love her. | |
She used to believe in innocence until she lost it | |
And spent a long summer, riding the trains | |
She has cats and collectors plates to keep her sane | |
Watching TV in her favorite chair, both of which are rented | |
She's alone, and surrounds herself with loners | |
Her life is a loan, lent out to anyone who will own her | |
Waiting for the night to sweep her off her feet, while she mops the bathroom floor | |
Hoping for a winning ticket or a man to treat her right | |
But they're both a gamble and she's been a loser all her life | |
And if she had a nickel for every time she's been punched and kicked | |
She'd put it together with her camel cash, try to buy some happiness | |
They always tell her they love her, but then they take something from her. | |
She would always show us her dreams | |
They were crumpled up like leaves from holding on too tight | |
Scattered in her shoebox coffin on the cardboard walls covered in butterflies | |
She's got love in her heart for her babies, and hope in her mind for tomorrow | |
And blood on her hands that only she sees, holding the last bit of time that's borrowed | |
But you never know where that heart has been, and we'll never know how hard it's been | |
I wanna cut open my chest and let her in, but that won’t fix what needs to mend | |
And she stands there unlit cigarette in hand | |
Filling up that empty hole with anything that’ll pour | |
Insides hanging out like a flare, warning. | |
There’s beauty in that pain, can you see it? | |
She’s crashing through life with seat belt hands | |
One accident away from a miracle | |
And there’s an honesty there, but I can’t take it all in | |
She hides the worst of it in the wrinkles | |
That’s the ache you get when there’s no where else to go. | |
And she’s got no where else to go, she doesn’t want to go there. | |
So I promise I’ll go with her, I promise I’ll go with her. |
She' s the kind of lady that calls everybody baby | |
Honey, sugar, sweetie, she' s always making friends | |
