lyrics

She looks like an actress
But the only thing she can stand to see
Are the cartoons on the telly
She smiles even though they're not funny
The cartoons are more real than her reality
She can return to a place where she does not have to face
The fear that lies behind her loud profanity

And she danced for the money
We were just pretending we were grown up then
And we didn't see it coming
She laughed though her eyes told it's not funny
She used to show me how she would burn the money
She won't return to this place
But I'll remember her face
As young, shining and defiant
