[Verse 1]
I run the God damned pretzel store at Buckingham Mall
Here on the east wing's second floor I'm belle of the ball
But at night I could swear that I'm someone else
Someone who's better
[Chorus]
Why does no one come here to save me?
Why won't anybody stay?
Cause I've got it in my head that maybe you could be her
[Verse 2]
Six hundred dollars, seven days, and I drink all I make
While people with great big fat BA's, they move and they shake
I can't dress me up, I can't take me out
I can't do nothing
[Chorus]
Why does no one come here to save me?
Why won't anybody stay?
Cause I've got it in my head that maybe you could be her
[Bridge]
You don't come by no more
You never wear that sweater I like
You don't say nothing that makes me think I'll ever get out of here
[Verse 3]
It's six in the morning, I'm awake, and it's nobody's fault
I knot them up tightly, watch them bake, and rub in the salt
Somewhere there's a hell that was meant for me
And I think I found it
[Chorus]
Why does no one come here to save me?
Why won't anybody stay?
Cause I've got it in my head that maybe you could be her
