A lonely little girl lives
In a lonely little town
Wears an ugly yellow dress
And an ugly yellow frown
Says, "There's no way out for me
Believe me I've tried
I wasn't always like this
way back when I had my pride"
Let me be a crucible
For your tender heart
Let me be a vehicle
The horse that pulls your cart
She has lips like sugar
Tastes like candy wine
She lives in a shoebox
Temporary by design
Says, "One day I plan leave this place
Maybe move to gay Paree
But for now I am stuck here
With a banjo on my knee"
She gets up at midnight
And starts her lonely day
She works as freelance writer
For practically no pay
Says, "I've written a novel
That I know that no one will ever read
Sometimes I cut myself
Just to see if I can still bleed"
