  • 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
