Lyla

Lyla in bloom, her innocence

And youth stripped away

Eighteen years old but she's lived

The life of sixty-eightThe heartache of a mother gone

And father she's never known

So she dreams of a better placeScared and alone turning tricks

And getting stoned to survive

Vegas sex queen living in a world

That's so obscene in a dead end lifeAt the end of every tragic day

She says this to herself

If I can hold on I knowWhen I find my wings, I'll fly away

Over the mountains, over the pain

And I won't look back 'cause I've gotta get away from here

I've gotta get away from here
