Terri's Very Vicious

You woke up at noon
Cos you got nothing to do
Except her list of dues
Dad grew a distance from you
Left his girl to Ms. New
And she just disapproves
She watched you walk home from school
Caught Sarah holding you
You’d never kiss and tell but Ms. knew
Mum’s gone and this is all that’s good
And it gets you yelled to your room
«What kind of lady are you?!»
Well Terri’s very vicious and she wanted something more than her chores
Grabbed her coat and grabbed a rug an left without closing the door
Sick of fighting through the mud, through the muck with no rudder
Crying to the night, it’s enough with no mother
So what now?
You are running out
Not sure how this ends up
But it’s better, so much better…
And just as you don’t care
The night caresses your hair
You think back to the times you had- there really wasn’t enough
Left to Dad, crumbled couldn’t be much
No more Mama to talk you through the trauma
Of knowing you are different, make you feel warmer
But she told you how to live and kick for all you got
And you got one other
Yeah she is waiting, so start accelerating
Cos Terri’s very vicious and she wanted something more than her chores
Grabbed her coat and grabbed a rug an left without closing the door
Sick of fighting through the mud, through the muck with no rudder
Driving through the night, toward the light of her lover
