Girl (Live) [Plugged Tour 1998]

[Verse 1]

From in the shadow she calls

And in the shadow she finds a way, finds a way

And in the shadow she crawls

Clutching her faded photograph

My image under her thumb

Yes, with a message for my heart

Yes, with a message for my heart

[Chorus]

She's been everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

[Verse 2]

Hey, and in the doorway they stay

And laugh as violins fill with water

Screams from the bluebells can't make them go away

Well I'm not seventeen, but I've cuts on my knees

Falling down as the winter takes one more cherry tree

[Chorus]

She's been everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

[Bridge]

Everyone else's girl

Maybe one day

I said she'll be her own

Rushing rivers thread so thin, limitation

Dreams with the flying pigs turbid blue

And the drug stores too safe

In their coats and in their do's yeah

Yeah, smother in our hearts, a pillow to my dots

One day, one day she'll be her own

[Verse 3]

And in the mist, there she rides

And castles are burning in my heart

And as I twist I hold tight

And I ride to work every morning wondering why

"Sit in the chair and be good now"

And become all that they told you

The white coats enter her room and I'm calling my baby

Calling my baby, calling, I'm calling

[Chorus]

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own

Everybody else's girl

Maybe one day she'll be her own
