She had a drive-by childhood
|
A plastic jesus on her chest
|
A mean mean girl
|
With a certain snake allure
|
A heart like 16 midnights
|
And a surgical voice
|
Keepin' strange for some change
|
|
Empty eyes with a haunted look
|
Leanin' hard, she lost her place
|
Try as she might
|
She couldn't take my advice
|
It's a desperate conclusion
|
People with a grudge
|
And a mind you can not budge
|
|
Ain't no bed of roses
|
Tryin' to turn your life around
|
Ain't no bed of roses
|
Time won't move no mountain
|
Just the faith in the leap, my friend
|
|
A cliff dwellin' creeper
|
And a runaway
|
On the ol' cat slide of town
|
See how you run, oh see how you pay
|
Another honest mistake
|
If dreams are all you need
|
Then alone is where you'll be
|
|
I'm the leader of the middle
|
And I see that streak in you
|
Was it somethin' you were born with
|
Or did it just seep on through?
|
It's a nightmare on a budget
|
Just enough to keep you off track
|
Always somethin' for nothin'
|
On the road, to hell and back
|
|
Ain't no bed of roses
|
Tryin' to turn your life around
|
Ain't no bed of roses
|
(time) won't move no mountain
|
Just the faith in the leap, my friend
|
