Lee Lyrics

Lee is a firecracker girl

With bottle rocket looks

And an eager matchbook

Lee is Barbara's best friend

Together they work day shifts

At Talula's firecracker stand

Lee is precious but wild

Just last week a wick

Lit her auburn hair on fire

But she didn't even wince

Lee lives at home with dad

He drinks cause he is sad

But they are all they have

Me, I live up the hill

I watch her through my blinds

Where she plays and where she hides

Lee is precious but wild

With palms just like her mom's

Those breaks on her main lines

A ten-sword tarot sign

Dad wants Lee to go to school

But when the bills are due

The future reads like old news

Mom, a seeker and naive

Left when Lee was nine

The cards read that she loved her fine

Mom was precious but wild

She met a man in town

A prophet he self-styled

Who turned her to a ghost

Lee is a firecracker girl

With bottle rocket looks

And an eager matchbook

Lee, asks to use my hill

Send fire to the sky

Hopes to catch her mom's eye…
