[Verse 1]
Her knees are bare knees
Are boys' knees like a lanky teen's
She keeps closed together when in company
I heard her explain once why through clenched teeth
But I can't remember what for no more, more
[Chorus]
Her hair is the color of her mind
Breathing from her head like a deep fire
It's all the warmth she has inside
She can't lock up no more
[Verse 2]
When she sleeps, she sleeps, she sleeps
So close to me in my dreams
She covers her lips round my pink ear
And whispers like a child
You burn me while I bury you alive
[Chorus]
Her hair is the color of her mind
Breathing from her head like a deep fire
It's all the warmth she has inside
