Colleen, never to be crowned queen |
|
Never an evergreen |
|
Floating above the scene |
|
As still as a figurine |
|
Expressionless, so serene |
|
But I know what makes you scream |
|
So don't you run out of steam |
|
I know you, Colleen |
|
It's been all messed up since the very beginning |
|
You act so tough people think that you're winning |
|
And everyone wants something from Colleen |
|
Colleen, perpetually between |
|
What is and what could have been |
|
Floating through your routine |
|
Every day since you were fifteen |
|
And rosy as you make it seem |
|
I know life for you ain't been a dream |
|
To have to deal with the things you've seen |
|
While they work you like you're a machine |
|
Machines break down but you can't break with them |
|
It's too late now so don't break the rhythm |
|
And everyone wants something from Colleen |
|
Colleen, if ever you walk into a dead end street |
|
Come clean |
|
Don't say that it's all all in your mind |
|
Because I know what you mean, Colleen |
|
It's been all messed up since the very beginning |
|
It's too late now 'cause we're already in it |
|
And everyone wants something from Colleen |
|
And no one gets 'cause she's no one's Colleen |
