She came from Oklahoma
|
She said the end of the world
|
Was on its way in a Chevy nova
|
She came from Oklahoma
|
She said the end of the world
|
Was on its way in a Chevy nova
|
|
Her smile was just a shadow
|
That trembled in the sun
|
And turned to stone as she grew older
|
Her smile was just a shadow
|
That trembled in the sun
|
And turned to stone as she grew older
|
|
She bought an El Camino
|
And a pocket full of pills she called her
|
And swore she's found salvation
|
But the hand grenades inside her
|
Where ready to explode
|
And the pins were pulled long ago
|
By sweet temptation
|
|
She found herself in New Orleans
|
With carnival of tears upon her veins
|
In the arms of strangers
|
When the lies where not enough
|
To hold back all the years of pain
|
She'd lie inside the danger and cry
|
|
You can tie me to the ground but not today
|
I need me one more chance to fly away
|
And tonight I¡¯m gonna fly away
|
