We're About 9 - Save Anna lyrics

she was lit up like a well dressed Christmas tree til the seasons changed her lights came free she started dropping needles to deal with the pain when that didn't work she turned to c**aine now she looks like a deadwood smothered in clay but you should have seen Anna back when it was her day she could hold your attention like a movie screen but it all fell apart by the second scene now she's picking up popcorn and looking for change and her ex-boyfriend are thinking, "isn't that strange?" i never thought i'd see her this way i mean you should have seen Anna back when it was her day she says it's hard at the bottom when you've seen it all from the top you know exactly what you look like, you're just another dot and now-a-days Anna is the one who turns water into wine i guess we love her so much we don't even mind and on our tables it's her blood, but most of the time it's just a potion that's clouding up Anna's mind but how does she get mine? you know i still write her letters i hope she gets them somehoe i was in love with her then i am in love with her now her spark is still blushing it's lost it somewhere and the mopped up wreck of her beautiful hair like its always been that way but you should have seen Anna back when it was her day you see it's hard at the bottom when your love train leads to the top just because the tracks are broken that doesn't mean that the engine will stop so america if you've got a prayer left in you i emplore you to give it to the poorly behaved i know what i look like i'm swallowing engines firing i'd be traveling home have them take me and oh- america if you see the last grandfather left from your confident era tell him to meet me at the corner of mischief and seventh with a bottle of brandy and we can sully our souls and christen our hearts just tell them heaven will take the lonely, it will take the hungry, but it may not take anna, if it doesn't then I don't wanna be safe if even he won't open his doors than I don't wanna be safe I don't wanna be safe I don't wanna be safe
