Amphetamine

She came out west to find the sun

She lost her name but found a new one

Amy goes to school all day

But at night in the neighborhood they call her Amphetamine

She is perfect in that fucked up way

That all the magazines seem to want to glorify these days

She looks like a teenage anthem

She looks like she used to be happy with the girl inside

She looks so bored sometimes

And she has that super pale skin and those soft green eyes

She looks like she could have been happy in a better life

She came out west just to break away clean

From her family and her friends and a little girl's dream

All she wants to do every night

Is to sit beside my window and listen to the sirens

She is perfect in that fucked up way

That all the magazines seem to want to glorify these days

She looks like a teenage anthem

And she looks like she should have been happy in another life

In another life

She came out west just to break the spell

After three long years in a marriage from hell

Six months clean living sober and right

Her doctors tell her everything will be alright

Yeah, you just take your pill

And everything will be alright

She looks like a teenage anthem

She looks like a magazine girl

She looks like a teenage anthem

Like she used to be happy in another world

She looks like a teenage anthem

She is happy with the girl inside

She looks like a teenage anthem

And looks like she could have been happy in another life

In another life

Happy in another life

Met her at a party and I took her home

She is the saddest girl that I have ever known

She wakes up in the middle of the night

Just to tell me everything will be alright

Amy smiles at me and tells me everything will be alright

I tell myself the same damn thing

Everyday

Everything will be alright
