Amanda is in love

With the sight of the moon

She's got pale green stars

In her room

Right above her bed

Put them on the ceiling

Leave on the light

When the sun goes down

Then the stars might shine

Shining in the dark

Skinny little girl in her room alone

She's got hell to spare

In her home

If you can call it a home

Doesn't want to be

Like anybody else

When no one is around

She talks to herself

I can hear her in the night

Hey- hey yeah

It's hard on a girl

When the blood won't come

When it ought to come

It's hard on a girl

When you try to walk around

On the shaky ground

Hey, hey

Daddy's going away

Scared little girl

Watching Aladdin on TV

Amanda always cries

When you yell at me

Yeah- please don't yell at me

Climb up all those stairs

Close the door

Doesn't want to

Hear us fighting anymore

Yeah, better call it a day

Hey- hey yeah

It's hard on a young girl

She thinks it's all her fault

When it all goes wrong

It's hard on a grown man too

See my baby crying at the window

Calling out my name

Hey, hey

Daddy's going away

She's got pale green stars in her room
