Nellie’s Not There

[Verse 1]
Nellie stands up from a wooden chair
Her brain goes fuzzy and her face goes fair
She sets into motion
Pretending she knows
The way out of here

[Verse 2]
The voice is coming from inside the house
But no one told her it would get so loud
[In motion emotions?]
She's holding out hope
She can tamp it down

[Chorus]
She's cooler than a [?]
She likes good music and the right TV
Who needs enemies with thoughts like these?
No, Nellie's not there at all, at all
Shе is walking on a tooth and string
Above a canyon full of sharp-edged things
But how shе's dancing makes you think she's walking on air
It's the trick of the fall, the fall, the fall

[Verse 3]
Nellie's sitting on a south-bound train
She adds her totals from the day away
Just math in a notebook
She hides in a cabin and
By the sink

[Verse 4]
She's [?] been wishing she could find that gleam
That made her glorious at seventeen
What would she like, then?
Who would she try and appease?

[Chorus]
She's cooler than a [?]
She likes good music and the right TV
Who needs enemies with thoughts like these?
No, Nellie's not there at all, at all
She is walking on a tooth and string
Above a canyon full of sharp-edged things
But how she's dancing makes you think she's walking on air
It's the trick of the fall, the fall, the fall

[Outro]
She's falling, she's falling
She's walking on air
She's falling, she's falling
She's not even there
