always in the gutter, always caught in the rain. always down on my luck, it'll never change. followed by a storm cloud - it walked me all the way home. but it's clear blue skies when we're alone.
((( she said she'd always adore you. she said she'd always bore you. she said she'd try to love you always. )))
always in the bathtub. always flushed down the drain. forget the kitchen sink, it's in my way. swimming in the sewer, wash me out to sea. i'm going with the current 'cause you're with me.

sun, fun everywhere - i go to the show but you're not there. you say you're half of a pair, but i've seen you start to disappear. he's not around, so you're not here.
he bought you a new dress, stitched you up so you would fit. you make a pretty good puppet when you're hanging in the closet by a string. you're giving in.
((( listen to your boyfriend, never having any fun, never going outside, always missing the shining sun. listen to your boyfriend, don't talk to anyone. you don't need any friends, he's your only one. )))
((( you have no dreams of your own.
he has no cares of his own. )))
you never asked for his advice. he's always right, you're always nice. he likes your head up in the clouds. he locks you high up in a tower. in a tower, you have no power.

that guy dreams at night of all the stars in the sky. warm raspberry skin turns to black velveteen.
((( dream of you, dream of you, dream of you )))
that girl dreams at night of all the clouds in disguise. salty tangerine skin turns to black velveteen.

she skipped sixteen, it rots her teeth. she burned her dress and ditched her dreams. a noose of pearls around her neck, the promise ring, it caused her death. she counts the stretchmarks on her legs: as many as the endless days. she's a butterfly cocooned in lace. her last thread's unraveling.
((( she is nobody's girlfriend. )))
the birthday candles on her cake had burned the witches of her age. she blew them out and made a curse, but that just made everything worse. she dug her grave and ran away. "that is no way you should behave!" no one goes back with a rose to lay, but that's ok, 'cause she escaped.

sometimes when you're unhappy it's because you told a lie, and the consequences built up 'cause you couldn't decide. promises, water under the bridge, i flow with the tide. and i pray to the furies to help me know what's right.
((( sad sad sisters, i heard you cry. all those fairies turned to flies. sad sad sisters, tell me why all my prayers turn to lies. )))

i'm going to the party tonight, been getting ready all day. i put my good shoes on, coughing in a cloud of hairspray. applyin' my eyeshadow, in the mirror i see your car's shadow. i hear my mom yell "hey, they're here!"
((( you are my ride to the party )))
the girl i never liked hands me a beer. the boy i always sat by says i look nice. the girl whose locker's next to mine says "hey, here take this." all of a sudden i'm feeling really high...
from far away i hear your voice. you look into my eyes. you say it's time to go, i say that'd be nice. you put your arm around me as we pull into my drive. you go in for a kiss, i run inside.
((( you are my ride home from the party )))
