The Story |
| S. colvin — j. |
| leventhal |
| Well we pounded the pavement between |
| Dotted lines |
| But we always belonged to the |
| Fugitive kind |
| We were never the best but we were |
| Better than this |
| To be made to bow down among princes |
| I got thrown around hallways and |
| Bedrooms and towns |
| And you run from that voice and |
| It drags you around |
| It dont matter the ruse or the |
| Weapons we choose |
| There is only one thing that can free us Oh so here I am The lion and the lamb |
| I was born to be telling this story |
| I could only be telling this story |
| I will always be telling this story |
| Well our father married our |
| Mother too young |
| And he took on a world like a Fortunate son |
| But in the cellar downstairs waiting |
| For the bomb scare |
| He would hide from us under the kitchen |
| Where she simmered so soft with |
| Her weapons of tin |
| And like so many suppers she just |
| Gave us to him |
| And he never did guess in her cast |
| Iron dress |
| She was burning beyond recognition |
| Oh its not over yet |
| I cant forget |
| I am going to be telling this story |
| I was born to be telling this story |
| I will always be telling this story |
| Sometimes I feel so reckless and wild |
| Sometimes I feel like a motherless child |
| I gave nobody life, I am nobodys wife |
| And I seem to be nobodys daughter |
| So red is the color that I like the best |
| Its your indian skin and the badge |
| On my chest |
| The heat of my pride |
| The lips of a bride |
| The sad heart of the truth |
| And the flag of youth |
| And blood that is thicker than water |
| I was made to be telling this story |
| I was born to be telling this story |
| I am going to be telling this story |
| I could only be telling this story |
| I will always be telling this story |
