Lyrics
Forever Seventeen
The information highway
Hit stop signs in her head
Preaching at the pulpit
For a dream already dead
Cream cakes in the ashtrays
Lightning in your dream
The bullet in her brain
Makes her forever seventeen
Forever seventeen
She was the ultimate Carnival queen
Sitting on her throne where she reigned supreme
Now she lies there, and she's Forever seventeen
Time lapse photography
Liaisons with the dead
Laughing at the Jackal
As it runs around her head
Kissing sticky duct tape
The plastic bag obscene
A shackle on her leg
Makes her forever seventeen
What kind of man says he loves you and then
Tears out your heart at the point of a gun
Then pulls the gun
Pops the dream
Taking your life away
Leaving you just seventeen
Facebook made her certain
That dreams become nightmares
In a world that's black and white
Where no one really cares
Stillness in the culvert
For ninety days unseen
The bullet in her head
Makes her forever seventeen
