Lyrics
Lyla
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.
Lyla in bloom
Her innocence and youth stripped away
Eighteen years old
But she's lived the life of sixty-eight
The heartache of a mother gone
And father she's never known
So she dreams of a better place
Scared and alone
Turning tricks and getting stoned to survive
Vegas sex queen
Living in a world that's so obscene in a dead end life
At the end of every tragic day she says this to herself
If i can hold on i know
When 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
