Girl
From in the shadow she callsAnd in the shadow she finds a way finds a wayAnd in the shadow she CRAWLSClutching her faded photograph my image UNDER her thumbYes with a message for my heartYes with a message for my heart
She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her ownEverybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
And in the doorway they stayAnd laugh as violins fill with waterScreams from the BLUEBELLS can't make them go awayWe'll I'm not seventeen but I've cuts on my kneesFalling down as the winter takes one more CHERRY TREE
She's been everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her ownEverybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
Everyone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her ownrushin' rivers thread so thin limitationEveryone else's girl maybe one day she'll be her owndreams with the flying pigs turbid blue and the drugstores too safe in theircoats anda in their do's yeahEveryone else's girl maybe one day maybe one day one day one day she'll beher ownsmother in our hearts a pillow to my dots
And in the mist there she ridesAnd castles are burning in my heartAnd as I twist I hold tightAnd I ride to work every morning wondering why"Sit in the chair and be good now"and become all that they told youthe white coats enter her roomand I'm callin' my baby callin' my baby callin' my baby callin'Everybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her ownEverybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her ownEverybody else's girl maybe one day she'll be her own
