Hey, she'll set the world alight

She's looking lost with life

But no-one's on fire

And still she burns

She waits her turn

Straight up.



Sometimes at least it seems

She hears the whole place scream

But she finds sleep

With light hand relief

She's going deep

Straight up



She holds no convictions

Which means she never doubts



Day falls into night

She draws the blind

Calls it a day

And when she wakes

Sees nothing's changed

Straight up.



She just stands there waiting

Waiting for something

Anything at all

Nothing at all

Not at all.
