Lyrics
She's a runaway castaway
She has run away and been abandoned.
Dignity passed away
Dignity has been lost or compromised.
She gave her heart away
She gave her love but received nothing in return.
But got nothing back
She faced disappointment or betrayal.
Refuses to turn
She refuses to change or adapt.
She's got nothing to learn
She believes she has nothing more to learn.
Only bridges to burn
She has only destructive relationships left.
As we watch her strut
Observers watch her confidently.
Cold to the bone
She appears emotionally detached and unfeeling.
An exterior pose
Her exterior reflects a false image or persona.
A head so bold
She has a bold and confident demeanor.
If she could only act
If only she could pretend or act differently.
What troubled look
Her troubled emotions are not apparent.
They have been hooked
Others have been captivated by her.
Not the first she took
She has a history of captivating others.
But I've got to flee, I've got to flee
The speaker feels the need to escape.
Eager to set fire
Expressing eagerness to cause destruction.
I can get you higher
Offering to elevate someone's state of being.
Make the liar drier
To expose or dry up deception.
Burn the witch
Advocating punishment for wrongdoing.
Choking smoke
Describing the aftermath of burning.
The piano's little joke
The piano's sound has a mocking quality.
Staring emptily into
Empty stares into a substance-related experience.
The lines of coke
Referencing drug use (cocaine).
But don't go there
Warning against exploring dangerous territory.
Don't you dare go there
Strongly advising against going to a risky place.
That's the place I go
Revealing a personal struggle or temptation.
To chase I know
The pursuit of something elusive or tempting.
You wouldn't care
Assuming the listener wouldn't care about the struggle.
Eager to set fire
Expressing eagerness again for destruction.
I can get you higher
Repeating the offer to elevate someone.
Make the liar drier
Reiterating the desire to expose lies.
Burn the witch
Re-emphasizing the call to punish wrongdoing.
Hello hello and welcome to the show
Greeting and introducing a performance or situation.
I've got a feeling that you won't belong, oh no
Expressing a feeling of not fitting in.
Did she hurt you, did she make you want to cry
Asking if someone has been emotionally hurt.
Did she leave you, did she leave you here to die
Questioning if someone has been abandoned or left to suffer.
Eager to set fire
Reiterating the eagerness for destruction.
I can get you higher
Renewing the offer to elevate someone's state.
Make the liar drier
Reiterating the desire to expose lies and deception.
Burn the witch
Re-emphasizing the call to punish wrongdoing.
