Lyrics
Amphetamine
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She came out west
To find the sun
She lost her name
But found a new one
Amy goes to school all day
But at night in the neighborhood
They call her Amphetamine
She is perfect inthat fucked up way
That all the magazines
Seem to want to glorify these days
She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like she used to be happy with
The girl inside
She looks so bored sometimes
She has that super pale skin
And those soft green eyes
She looks like she could have been happy
In a better life
She came out west
Just to break away clean
From her family and friends
And a little girl's dream
All she wants to do every night
Is to sit beside my window
And listen to the sirens
She is perfect in that fucked up way
That all the magazines
Seem to want to glorify these days
She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like she could have been happy
In another life
In another life
She came out west
Just to break the spell
After three long years
In a marriage from hell
Six months clean
Living sober and right
The doctors tell her
Everything will be alright
Yeah, you just take your pill
And everything will be alright
She looks like a teenage anthem
She looks like a magazine girl
She looks like a teenage anthem
Like she used to be happy
In another world
She looks like a teenage anthem
She is happy with the girl inside
She looks like a teenage anthem
And looks like she could have been
Happy in another life
In another life
Happy in another life
