lyrics

Annie rides the subway train
Rides the tide of yet another day
Flaxen waves fall softly round her face
Eyes have closed to see another place
She is rocking back and forth like in a cradle
She is swaddled in his secrets and lies
She would try to force a smile but she's not able
Annie's ready to remove her disguise

Red and yellow signals flash
Blend together in a kind of clash
Annie'd like to take a pilgrimage
Well she knows she's not happy where she is
And as the muntes slip on by she's at a stand still
Annie feels that she should cry but she as strong will
She heard someone say the point of life's to educate
Yet she sits here in the darkness riding out her fate

Chorus:
Someone says
"Annie, you know the years you spent just waiting by your lover's side
Annie, you know that candy's sweet but were you ever satisfied
Annie can't you see you are more than a worn out fantasy
You're gonna be alright, you gotta live your own life
You're gonna be alright, you gotta live your own life"

Annie's tried to block the rising tide
Annie's stifled many screams and cries
Her reflection looks right through her eyes
The girl inside is barely recognized
And as a spark of light blue light alights the train track
She starts to go and knows there's no turning back
She was once a lovely damsel dreaming maybe
Now she just a lonely lady crying save me
Save me

(Chorus)
