Lyla in bloom Her innocence and youth stripped away Eighteen years old But she's lived the life of sixty-eight The heartache of a mother gone And father she's never known So she dreams of a better place Scared and alone Turning tricks and getting stoned to survive Vegas sex queen Living in a world that's so obscene in a dead end life At the end of every tragic day she says this to herself If i can hold on i know When i find my wings I'll fly away Over the mountains Over the pain And i won't look back Cause i've gotta get away from here I've gotta get away from here
