Sixty Six Days

[Intro]

[Verse 1]
From day one
She felt more free than she had really become
She was told to open her eyes
To find someone nice

[Verse 2]
Ripped and skipped
Was how she felt on day four
When she wasn't picked
And she opened her eyes
To look for a new life

[Chorus]
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?

[Verse 3]
Eighteen days up
She learned her diploma wouldn't make the cut
And she looked through those eyes
For a guiding light
To lead her to a new life

[Verse 4]
By thirty days
She began to lose most of her faith
She though about her fate
Where did she belong
All along?

[Chorus]
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay
Up and up there she goes
Too far from her home
Up and up and up and away
Who ever said she had to stay?

[Verse 5]
Seven more days
There was no more food for her to make
Why didn't she use her eyes
To find a new life?

[Verse 6]
A new daybreak
She was determined to go the right way
She found someone nice
She used her eyes

[Chorus]
But in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
Gone and gone but coming back
Giving herself some slack
Back on Earth from the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?

[Verse 7]
But on day sixty six
She was standing on a corner on fifth
And she closed her eyes
And the sirens cried
As they gave her a ride

[Chorus]
'Cause in sixty six days she had to go
Far away from her home
Up into the milky way
Who ever said she had to stay?
Up and up there she goes
Too far from her home
Up there feeling all alone
Why did she have to go?
