Prairie Oyster - Black-Eyed Susan lyrics

She walks into work on Monday Too much makeup on her face As if there is something more than time and lines She's trying to erase Secrets shadows Paint and powder cannot hide And for everyone she covers up A new one grows inside She's the last to leave the office She's afraid not to go home She's afraid to be with people She's afraid to be alone And when courage feels like cowardess It all gets too confusing It's a twisted garden where you grow Black eyed Susan And your momma says Run for your life From a path not freely chosen You can't last It's crazy maze of tangled weeds And your footsteps are all frozen in the past It's a game of chance you can't win for losing Black eyed Susan black eyed Susan There's a peaceful garden somewhere The wind is soft and warm And the sun and rain And brown earth keep the flowers safe from harm And nobody likes to see your pain It ain't nothing that's amusing And your momma says Run for your life You can change a path not chosen You are no mans right Save your heart before it's frozen And your peddles fade and fall from all the bruising Black eyed Susan Black eyed Susan Black eyed Susan
