pale green girl
lyrics and music by Penelope Houston


She's a pale green girl
sometime she's going to fly away
She's a pale green girl
but she might come back any day

And you cant look her in the eye
she knows a few too many things
You never look her in the eye
but wait 'til night, and then she sings

She going to burn down someone's house
you know your eyes are going to sting
She going to burn down someone's house just to dry her wings

She's a pale green girl
sometime she's going to float away
She's a pale green girl
but she might come back any day

She going to burn down someone's house
you know your eyes are going to sting
she going to burn down someone's house just to dry her wings

She's a pale green girl
sometime she's going to fly away
She's a pale green girl
but she might come back any day

She knows the way you pace the floor
she knows the way you fucked her dry
She knows you're tapping on her door
you never heard a baby cry

She going to burn down someone's house
you know your eyes are going to sting
she going to burn down someone's house just to dry her wings
