lyrics

She’s been chasing
Any feeling
Any feeling that’ll hit her like she wants it to
She’ll stay waiting
It’s not coming
It’s not coming, the heaven they promised you

They leave more than the tracks on her arms
They drag their dirty soles over her heart
But she’s smiling in the picture
She is smiling in the picture

She leaves nothing
To the mind
To the mind, but she sets imagination wild
From what they write
Eternal life
Eternal life, that’s the power that gets you high

They leave more than the tracks on her arms
They drag their dirty soles over her heart
But she’s smiling in the picture
She is smiling in the picture

And you know
That she is a casualty
On the eve of your dying scene
She shook it for the downtown queen
Now she’s there
Dancing to her favorite band
In the disco of the damned
Angel throws up her hands

She’ll mark her skin
She’ll let you in
She’ll let you in to all of the lives she’s lived
Hours are few
She’s twenty two
A better poet than you, and it’s time to be moving on

She tells you proudly she’s a modern muse
They empty her like the needles they use
She was a child when they met her
She was a child when they met her
She was a child when they met her
She was a child when they met her
