Girl In The Basement

A girl once lived in a basement

Stuck in her own entrapment

Living off scraps and presents

Scraping away at her patience

If she squinted just right

She could see some daylight

And what a delight it would be

To be outside

Just playing all day

And laughing away

Oh, what a delight it would be

A girl once lived in a basement

Self-imprisoned in darkness

Waiting for horse and carriage

To whisk her away from this sadness

If she wished really hard

And sang out real loud

Then some passerby's bound to pass

And hear the sound

But nobody cares

'Cause no one's out there

So she'll sing a song 'til she's dead
