Silver For Gold

She's Going Away

Silver For Gold


She is a pretty tree 
A tree dressed all in trinkets 
Trinkets for the birds to strip away 
She's a jeweled and painted egg 
An egg by Faberge 
Her fragile shell 
Cracked open in the fray 

She's going away 
Going away 

He's a speed freak side kick 
In awe of her beauty 
But her beauty's not enough to make him stay 
He's a broken mirror 
A mirror for the damned to preen in 
The vampire tweakers 
Have come out to prey 

She's going away 
Going away 
Going away 
Going away 

The van is on it's way 
A long white ride made by Chevrolet 
Her shot waits in the tray 
A sedative to turn her mind to clay 

She's going away 
Going away 
Going away 
Going away
