Pennies On The Track — текст песни (Amy Ray)

Puttin` pennies on the track
Shiny and flat
It was the best we could be
Sexy and free
I grow away from myself
With each passing bell
With all these new accessories,
I just stumble and bleed

And for a moment, I feel the coldness
At the end of the fall break
I put my hands down deep in my pockets
As my body awakes

So I`m heading back to school
All brilliant and new
I`m trying hard to fit in
And not to walk like a man
A girl that I never noticed
She asks me to hold this
A secret to hard to tell
And I never will

And 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 damn the sacrifice
Of every life we`ve lost
Damn all the cost of the assault
Damn all the cost of the assault

You 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
