Girl

From in the shadow she calls
And in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way
And in the shadow she crawls, clutching her faded photograph
My image under her thumb
Yes with a message, yes with a message for my heart

She's been everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own
Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the doorway they stay
And laugh as violins fill with water
Screams from the bluebells can't
Make them go away
Well I'm not seventeen, but I've cuts on my knees
Falling down, as the winter takes one more cherry tree

Rushin' rivers thread so thin
Limitation
Dreams with the flying pigs
Turbid blue and the drugstores too
Safe in their coats and in their do's
Yeah, smother in our lives, a pillow to my dots

One day
Maybe one day she'll be her own

And in the mist there she rides
And castles are burning in my heart
And as I twist I hold tight
And I ride to work every morning
Wondering why "sit on a chair and be good now"
And become all they told you
The white coats enter her room
And I'm calling my baby, callin' my baby
Callin' my baby, callin'

Everybody else's girl
Maybe one day she'll be her own...
