She stands alone
At the side of the road
Waiting on a friend
But he never comes
Nor does anyone

One day this town is going to burn
And she’ll turn away

She sits in her room
Listening to old Morrissey tunes
Reading her magazines
And it seems
That no one knows anything

One day this town is going to burn
And she’ll turn away
Some day feeling will return
And she’ll yearn for the life that she let slip away

And when all is said and done
When the battles have been lost or won
She’ll be counted amongst the brave
Who found no victory in the grave

One day this town is going to burn
And she’ll turn away
Some day feeling will return
And she’ll yearn for the life that she let slip away
