Your sister, she’s heavy,
She rides like the sun
Flaming tattoos
On every arm
The tiles of her face
They look like a gun
So isn't it surprising
You can’t feel no one

She said she will marry
To some rich man
Who’ll give her everything
That she can ever name
Now she rides on his horses
Straight into the dark
One day she’ll find out
What its all about

Its like being alone, alone in the dark
Its like running away, away from your past
Its like running away, away from a dart

One day she remembers
How it used to be
She would ride on his horses
Into the sea
She would climb on his mountain
And reach for his gold
And swallow him whole
Like he was a frog

Its like being alone, alone in the dark
Its like running away, away from your past
Its like running away, away from a dart

‘Cause that’s just the way
Things here get done
By running around
By selling your crown
You think that you riding
On top … but you are …
You’re just chasing a dream
Breathless and scarred

Oh … isn’t it a pitty
That people are affriad
Of the very thing
They’re supposed to be

Still, sometimes she recalls
All the moments they had
When he held her in his arms
And whispered instead
Saying: “Please dear
Won’t you listen to me …
I got nothing to say
‘cause my heart it is free”

Its like being alone, alone in the dark
Its like running away, away from your past
Its like running away, away from a dart

The story continued
For many long years
They’d been riding along
Way up on the hills
they’ve been swimming in place
That no one could hear
When she longed for her soul
He said come on dear ...
