Lyrics
Katie
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.
Katie was a little girl who said "i'll find a way".
Katie was a little girl who said "it'll be ok".
Till one day she found a little bit of something she used to drown.
She said "i'm alive and i am free, but you see i have control over me."
But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".
Katie was a little girl who never found the way.
Katie was a little girl who never was ok.
Cause one day she found a little bit of something she used to drown.
She said "i'm alive and i am free, but you see i have control over me."
But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".
She said "i'm alive and i am free, but you see i have control over me"...
But will you draw the line?
Turn a blind eye to all the faces that you know?
And she said, "go".
And she said... "go".
