Dakota

Cheap perfume, a bad tattoo
But somehow it looks good on you
Your eyes are tired, your hair’s a mess
Coffee stain and nicotine
Staring at the window pane
I see that name tag on your dress
Oh, Dakota, weight of the world on your shoulder
Watching the place flying over
Late at night, no-one to hold ya, Dakota
I know that lately it’s hard to stay sober
«'Cause life is so easy» they told ya
But they don’t know you like I know ya, Dakota
I know that lately it’s hard to stay sober
«'Cause life is so easy» they told ya
But they don’t know you like I know ya, Dakota
Sweet sixteen, a beauty queen
Destined for the movie screen
She burned up bridges on the way
Bills to pay, away
Take a pill to float away
Another Hollywood cliché
Oh, Dakota, weight of the world on your shoulder
Watching the place flying over
Late at night, no-one to hold ya, Dakota
I know that lately it’s hard to stay sober
«'Cause life is so easy» they told ya
But they don’t know you like I know ya, Dakota
I know that lately it’s hard to stay sober
«'Cause life is so easy» they told ya
But they don’t know you like I know ya, Dakota
Oh, Dakota, weight of the world on your shoulder
Watching the place flying over
Late at night, no-one to hold ya, Dakota
I know that lately it’s hard to stay sober
«'Cause life is so easy» they told ya
But they don’t know you like I know ya, Dakota
But they don’t know you like I know ya, Dakota
But they don’t know you like I know ya
Dakota, Dakota, Dakota
