Donna Faye

Donna Faye, why are you depressed?
Leave behind that broken notion,
Why are you depressed?
Did you lock the door behind you?

Are you ready to lose everything for freedom,
Cause you're the only ghost who's haunting you now.
It's bitter to believe your answer...

Why are you upset?
Did you try to hard to make it right again?
You'll lose him fast with how you play pretend.
Donna Faye, it's over by the gun.
Don't take it out on yourself.
You couldn't stop the pain he brought,
You couldn't stop the flood.

Drop the pins and the magazines too.
You can feel it deep inside you.
Cancer cell among the many,
There's only one thing to do.
I bet you won't, I know you won't
Keep on living like there's nothing to lose.
Stop the silence, keep living.

Walking on a cloudy day,
'Feeling the beats from the trees'
Living like I use to say,
'Hands and knees, hands and knees'
It's not September but I'm trying to remember anyway.

Another chord
No Discord
Slightly better
A perfect receptor
Another round
It's so profound
Switch around

Could you just forget?
Leave behind that broken notion,
Could you forget?
I'm not holding on to this anymore.

'It's the radio we feel that's the deal sealed
When the profits make stops in industrial pockets.
Catching waves, it's another day
Seconds behind the curb, so that explains
All the mayhem and hunger pains
My very structure is shaken, bracing from impact unexplained.

'That's my last glass, burning children from the past,
Let the pen speak the truth only futures can tell,
Let the phone ring, it's a different kind of styling,
Pop another pill, I'll take you over this hill,
It's a quick pop job with a ransom for your life
Don't let them kill you tonight.'
