Amy Ray - Pennies On The Track Lyrics
Putting pennies on the track, shiny and flat,It was the best we could be, sexy and free.I grow away from myself with each passing bell-With all these new accessories, I just stumble and bleed.For a moment I feel the coldnessAt the end of a Fall day.I put my hands down deep in my pocketsAs my body awakes.So I'm heading back to school all brilliant and new,Trying hard to fit in and not to walk like a man.A girl that I never noticed asked me to hold this-A secret too hard to tell and I never will.For a moment I feel the coldnessOf everything that's been taken away.I put the phone back in the cradle,I can't make this okay.The damage she'll surviveBut damn the sacrifice ofEvery life we've lostDamn all the cost of the assaultYou tied a knot and you dared me,The stem of a cherry,To find my own humanityAnd just let it breathe.Hold my head up in this momentKeep myself from fading away.Pull my hands out of pockets andFeel my body awake.
