When She Flies

She spends too much time looking back
At things she’s never done and never will.
Someday she’ll make the great escape,
Start up again and never, ever tell.
She smiles at her people,
Tells everyone she’s doing quite well.
But if she were an heiress,
She’d buy her way straight out of this hell.

When she flies…
Over the city with the airplanes.
Up there they never ask her to explain.
Up there they never ask her to refrain.

Little girl lost was found
In a place she shouldn’t oughta be.
Living on her own and making strides
In this credit economy.
She wants to live her nine lives and go out
In a crashing blaze of sweet glory.
She’ll probably live eighteen and die alone;
A has-been who could never be.

When she floats...
Over the ocean on a storm cloud.
She never has to worry about being called out.
She never has to worry about being kicked out.

Tomorrow is another day.
They say that all the time.
Sometimes they’re right.
But other times it’s all the same.
Before I’m out of bed I’m all uptight.
Something must be wrong with me.
I feel the urge, but I don’t want to bite.
You made your sale. I made my bail.
Take my hand, we’ll slip into the night.

When she flies…
Over the city with the airplanes.
Up there they never ask her to explain.
Up there they never ask her to refrain.

When she floats...
Over the ocean on a storm cloud.
She never has to worry about being called out.
She never has to worry about being kicked out.

When she flies…
Over the city with the airplanes.
Up there they never ask her to explain.
Up there they never ask her to refrain.

When she floats...
Over the ocean on a storm cloud.
She never has to worry about being called out.
She never has to worry about being kicked out.
