It was cocaine dreams and pill made queens
And empty promises from the alderman,
She screamed in vain and snorted more pain
And chased it with a bit more disdain,
As her friends gave way in the darkest of weather,
She dreamed of being as light as a feather,
We all gotta grow up some time now, don't we?
Her momma says it's too late,
You know you'll never escape,
The moment we cry, we all start to die from the beginning,
Baby girl, it's just one big ending.
She refused to believe all she knew was it,
There's gotta be more people, more places, more things to play with,
All was not as it seems.
Well she opened her heart as well as her eyes,
She extended her arms and she let her soul shine,
No matter how much it had crushed her at times.
The people said it's too late,
You know you'll never escape
The moment we cry, we all start to die from the beginning,
Stupid girl, it's just one big ending.
Sometimes one must fight,
If you wanna live in the light,
Many will say lay your armor down,
Retreat to your hole, don't you dare make a sound.
They say her head's stuck up in the clouds,
It just took off one day and it never came back down,
It seems our little Texas girl met a man from Tennessee,
He bought her a Toyota, a piano and a sofa,
To match their home in northern California.
The prisoners will always envy the free,
Sometimes at night when the stars are bright,
She walks outside with them sparkling in her eyes,
Her joyous screams echo far and wide.
I tell you now it's too late,
You know you'll never escape.
The moment we cry, we all start to die from the beginning,
Weary souls, it's just one big ending.
It's just one big ending.
And empty promises from the alderman,
She screamed in vain and snorted more pain
And chased it with a bit more disdain,
As her friends gave way in the darkest of weather,
She dreamed of being as light as a feather,
We all gotta grow up some time now, don't we?
Her momma says it's too late,
You know you'll never escape,
The moment we cry, we all start to die from the beginning,
Baby girl, it's just one big ending.
She refused to believe all she knew was it,
There's gotta be more people, more places, more things to play with,
All was not as it seems.
Well she opened her heart as well as her eyes,
She extended her arms and she let her soul shine,
No matter how much it had crushed her at times.
The people said it's too late,
You know you'll never escape
The moment we cry, we all start to die from the beginning,
Stupid girl, it's just one big ending.
Sometimes one must fight,
If you wanna live in the light,
Many will say lay your armor down,
Retreat to your hole, don't you dare make a sound.
They say her head's stuck up in the clouds,
It just took off one day and it never came back down,

Her joyous screams echo far and wide.
I tell you now it's too late,
You know you'll never escape.
The moment we cry, we all start to die from the beginning,
Weary souls, it's just one big ending.
It's just one big ending.
