I'll open up these dirty wings and teach myself to fly
When I take my face from off the floor, it makes me wanna cry
You keep me locked in a little box with windows all around
and if I stay here longer I won't know my sky from ground
You'll cry, gonna cry, you'll cry, gonna cry
When I find the strength inside to fight with your pretty mouth
Wear lipstick red, wear tarpit black, wear guardian angel white
I don't care about what you wear, long as it comes off at night
I read your words, they sat in my head like water in my brain
Let's drink downtown, then fool around, I'm gonna wreck your shame
You'll cry, gonna cry, you'll cry, gonna cry
When I find the strength inside to fight with your pretty mouth
You'll cry, gonna cry, you'll cry, gonna cry
When I pack my bags and leave on a plane home heading south
