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 the stairs

close the door

doesn't want to

hear us fighting anymore



yeah, better call it a day



hey -- hey yeah

it's so hard on a young girl

she thinks it's 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
