Good Girl Down
It was your black-lace summer
Up on the Cape
You had your boomerang mattress
And your plan of escape
You bounced around the boardwalk
Playing the slots
Till the cherries spun and tumbled
Connecting the dots
It was a race against time,
A brace against owning yourself
Just before the crash
When your mask just dropped away
You had something to say
"You can't keep a good girl
you can't keep a good girl down"
Freefalling nights in a slow chase
Strangers in the spin
Sinking to the bottom
Desp'rate to win
It was a jumble of defenses
Hand on the hour
Seconds from disaster
Feeling your power
It was a race against time
A brace against owning yourself
Just before the crash
When your mask just dropped away
You had something to say
"You can't keep a good girl
you can't keep a good girl down"
Tilt of alarm
No one to harm
The thrill is the disease
It was your season of charms
Singing your nasty songs
Tracing the poison
Till the feeling was gone
Mama doesn't answer
Daddy left town
Now there's no one else to rescue
Good girl down
Good girl down
Good girl down
Up on the Cape
You had your boomerang mattress
And your plan of escape
You bounced around the boardwalk
Playing the slots
Till the cherries spun and tumbled
Connecting the dots
It was a race against time,
A brace against owning yourself
Just before the crash
When your mask just dropped away
You had something to say
"You can't keep a good girl
you can't keep a good girl down"
Freefalling nights in a slow chase
Strangers in the spin
Sinking to the bottom
Desp'rate to win
It was a jumble of defenses
Hand on the hour
Seconds from disaster
Feeling your power
It was a race against time
A brace against owning yourself
Just before the crash
When your mask just dropped away
You had something to say
"You can't keep a good girl
you can't keep a good girl down"
Tilt of alarm
No one to harm
The thrill is the disease
It was your season of charms
Singing your nasty songs
Tracing the poison
Till the feeling was gone
Mama doesn't answer
Daddy left town
Now there's no one else to rescue
Good girl down
Good girl down
Good girl down
