Girl
From in the
shadows she calls and in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way
And in the
shadow she crawls clutching her faded photograph
My image under
her thumb
Yes with a
message for my heart
Yes with a
message for my heart
She’s been
everybody else’s girl
Maybe one day
she’ll be her own
Everybody
else’s girl
Maybe one day
she’ll be her own
Hey hey
And in the
doorway they stay and laugh as violins fill with water
Screams from
the bluebells can’t make them go away
Well I’m not
seventeen but I’ve cuts on my knees
Falling down as
the winter takes one more cherry tree
She’s been
everybody else’s girl
Maybe one day
she’ll be her own
Everybody
else’s girl
Maybe one day
she’ll be her own
(everyone)
Everyone else’s
girl
Maybe one day
she’ll be her own
Rushing rivers
Thread so bare
(as is girl)
Limitation (maybe
one day she’ll be her own)
Oh dreams with
the flying pigs (oh)
Turbid blue and
the drugstores too (girl, maybe one day she’ll be her own)
Safe in their
coats and in their do’s (oh)
Yea, smother in
our hearts (girl)
A pillow to my
dots (maybe one day)
Maybe, maybe
one day
One day she’ll
be her own
And in the mist
there she rides and castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist
I hold tight
And I ride to
work every morning wondering why
Sit in the
chair and be good now
Oh and become
all that they told you
The white coats
enter her room and I’m calling my baby
Calling my baby
Calling my baby
Calling
Everybody
else’s girl
Maybe one day
she’ll be her own
Everybody
else’s girl
Maybe one day
she’ll be her own
