Oh, to be as the birds are

Unburdened by loneliness

Oh, to be a shining star

So far away with no regret

Oh, to live in some photograph

Smiling and in love

Far from where you said all that

Shit about freedom

Annie, put your weapon down

I saw you last night

You were runnin round

With them coyotes hollering in the city streets

They don't lay a hand on me

Fancied myself the exception

To almost any rule

Youth is wasted on the young

I was exceptionally cruel

Like any person, I am insecure

You never judged me for that mountain

You gave me love, I wasn't woman enough

I just drank up the fountain

Annie, put your weapon down

I saw you last night

You were running round

With them coyotes hollerin in the city streets

They don't lay a hand on me

They don't lay a hand on me

They don't lay a hand on me
