lyrics

Such a silly girl in such a big bad world
she's got bats in her eyelashes and gold in her curls
and if you give her a smile, she'll give you a twirl
and then so much more than that

With a fist full of hair she light up the dancefloor
She likes what she gets and gets what she asks for
Attention and a helping hand or
A place to stay the night

The pastel shirt on the pale boy
Wants a man to treat him like a playground toy
His pouty lips and his eyes so coy
And his back turned to the world

He's asked his age and he tells his lies
And with a fistful of cash he closes his eyes
It's a lot if he's lucky and he is lucky sometimes
So he wears bruises like tattoos

Got run....
Gotta run....
Gonna come.....
Then it all goes dark

She's lost her hair and she's clinging on
To a man who loves her like a loaded gun
And when the shot rings out he says it's just for fun
She's frightened but alone

In her heart she knows, but she'll never leave
She's seen to many branches snap on too many trees
So she let her pain slip beneath her tears
And closes the door on it

Dissolutions, no conclusions
An empty bar playing country music
Each new beer brings a new solution
A different shade of paint

And each new night stumble home
Midnight strikes and bells toll
Vomit falls and eyes close
And it all begins again
