Lace

She is the one with the vodka colored smile
Raspberries dripping from her lips
Sapphires and rubies between her hips
She never cared the for lovers of old
She never cared for diamonds or gold

She admires the cage that keeps her from the edge
On the train at 2 AM while the others dangle their feet off the yellow ledge

She was too scared of the fall
She was too scared of it all

Tying lace around her neck like the chains around her thighs
There's mace behind her back and there's blood behind her eyes
Telling me about all the things that I could never be
When all I wanted was to be a little bit free

It won't be long 'til she's walking into the pool
In her white dress and her satin shoes
Yelling, "This is the life that I happen to be living
But it ain't what I choose"

She is the one with the flowers in her eyes
Her silk billowing over the river
All you can do is stand there and shiver

She wasn't scared of the fall
She wasn't scared at all

Tying lace around her neck like the chains around her thighs
There's mace behind her back and there's blood behind her eyes
Telling me about all the things that I could never be
When all I wanted was to be a little bit free
Free
