|
She had a drive-by childhood |
|
A plastic jesus on her chest |
|
A mean mean girl |
|
With a certain snake allure |
|
A heart like 16 midnights |
|
And a surgical voice |
|
Keepin' strange for some change |
|
Empty eyes with a haunted look |
|
Leanin' hard, she lost her place |
|
Try as she might |
|
She couldn't take my advice |
|
It's a desperate conclusion |
|
People with a grudge |
|
And a mind you can not budge |
|
Ain't no bed of roses |
|
Tryin' to turn your life around |
|
Ain't no bed of roses |
|
Time won't move no mountain |
|
Just the faith in the leap, my friend |
|
A cliff dwellin' creeper |
|
And a runaway |
|
On the ol' cat slide of town |
|
See how you run, oh see how you pay |
|
Another honest mistake |
|
If dreams are all you need |
|
Then alone is where you'll be |
|
I'm the leader of the middle |
|
And I see that streak in you |
|
Was it somethin' you were born with |
|
Or did it just seep on through? |
|
It's a nightmare on a budget |
|
Just enough to keep you off track |
|
Always somethin' for nothin' |
|
On the road, to hell and back |
|
Ain't no bed of roses |
|
Tryin' to turn your life around |
|
Ain't no bed of roses |
|
(time) won't move no mountain |
|
Just the faith in the leap, my friend |
|
