The final song on the album as the life and times of Tracy Star comes to a close
lyrics
It’s five AM in a cocktail bar. By your face we didn’t get very far
I’m going home, I’m too tired and stoned
Red eyes, red witch, you drunk enough, you stupid bitch
Just a girl who can’t say no, Just a girl who can’t say no
Holding on to a falling star, I left a trail in the park
That was where my mind was caved in. In the middle of singing something
Red eyed, red witch, you drunk enough, now you been hit
Just a girl who can’t say no. Just a girl who can’t say no
Blue light flashed like a ball of flames, I can’t tell them my first name
I could the line going in, my hand was stinging
Everything was shaking starting to fall
Hit me like train hit me for hours
I travelled through a wire to a blinding light
Do you think you can count to 5 for honey
Do you think you can open your eyes for me
I could see everything, I could see everything
I could see myself broken twisted on the floor
So if this is how it is, why should I want more
Then I saw white angels, it was white angels, it was white angels
Red eyes, red witch, you drunk too much, no way back from this
Just a girl who can’t say no, Just a girl who can’t say no
I’m going home
