Hey, she'll set the world alight
|
She's looking lost with life
|
But no-one's on fire
|
And still she burns
|
She waits her turn
|
Straight up.
|
|
Sometimes at least it seems
|
She hears the whole place scream
|
But she finds sleep
|
With light hand relief
|
She's going deep
|
Straight up
|
|
She holds no convictions
|
Which means she never doubts
|
|
Day falls into night
|
She draws the blind
|
Calls it a day
|
And when she wakes
|
Sees nothing's changed
|
Straight up.
|
|
She just stands there waiting
|
Waiting for something
|
Anything at all
|
Nothing at all
|
Not at all.
