I've got a little girl, though I know it won't be long Before she finds another boy who will sit her by the fireplace And sing her a song It feels like there's no safe place In a world that's come apart And the deafening sound of a bursting bubble Wakes you up with a start
Is there nowhere that is safe Why can't we change the rules so I win All I need is an escape A temporary place to hide
When she's coming in the door when she's walking out the door Hard to tell which is worse That false feeling of relief when she comes in Or the empty feeling when she's gone And every night on the streets the forces of darkness Score another victory And I stand with the timid waiting for the devil To make a martyr of me
