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

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

Just a little girl's dream

All she wants to do every night

Is 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, ooh, in another life

Yeah, 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

The doctors tell her everything will be alright



Yeah you just take your pill

And 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

Ooh, in another life, 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 me 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

Yeah, Amy smiles at me and tells me everything will be alright



Yeah, I tell myself the same damn thing

Everyday

Everything will be alright

Ooh, everything will be alright

Everything will be alright
