I watched you grow
from a tiny string bean girl
into a 5 foot 8 force
that could take on the world
I remember when
you dropped out to go
New York in the snow
Somewhere you crossed
that neon studded line
in every addicts mind
A figure like a saint
high on mothers day
waiting for a break
smoking them all away
Its hard to stay in love
with someone behind walls
Its hard to stay in love
when someone always falls
A drugged up country girl
who never knew her place
was on the runway
in Paris or Milan
showing off her face
her gentile country grace

You tell a common sad story uncommonly well.

It is true that the runways are full of glitter and broken hearts and drugs are always so friendly.

When did we ever learn.

entoxicated by a dream we see the dream as the life and the life we become extoxicated by.
