Pennies on the Track - Amy Ray

Pennies on the Track - Amy Ray
Putting p*nnies on the track
Shiny and flat
It was the best we could be
Sexy and free
I grow away from myself
Each passing bell
With all these new accessories
I just stumble and bleed
For a moment I feel the coldness
At the end of a fall day
I put my hands down deep in my pockets
As my body awakes
So I'm heading back to school
All brilliant and new
Trying hard to fit in and not to walk like a man
A girl that I never noticed
She asked me to hold this
A secret too hard to tell and I never will
For a moment I feel the coldness
Of everything that's been taken away
I put the phone back in the cradle
I can't make this okay
The damage she'll survive
But d**n the sacrifice
Every life we've lost
D**n all the cost of the assault
D**n all the cost of the assault
Tied a knot and you dared me
The stem of a cherry
To find my own humanity
Just let it breathe
Hold my head up in this moment
Keep myself from fading away
Pull my hands out of my pockets and
Feel my body awake
Hold my head up in this moment
Keep myself from fading away
Pull my hands out of my pockets and
Feel my body awake
