She Breathes Fire

She left Ohio, bound for NYC
She broke her ties, she lost touch with me
That place wasn't big enough for a girl with her kind of dream
Thumbed across the East coast to a squat between A and C
Got a job as a stripper breathing fire on all the men
She liked the money, she liked the power she had over them

Get rid of everything she breathes fire
Get rid of society she breathes fire
Don't need anything she breathes fire

I started getting postcards, she was dancing in New Orleans
Or sparing change in FLA, every year it was a different scene
She conquered Texas, fell in love in Santa Fe
Maybe she'd finally found a place where she could finally stay

Get rid of society she breathes fire
Get rid of society she breathes fire
Don't need anything she breathes fire
Get rid of the family she breathes fire
Get rid of the memories she breathes fire
Don't need anything she breathes fire

She painted fires of the bridges that she burned
Tearing out the pages of the book that said to take her turn

Now she's right back where she started
At home with Mom and Dad
Watch it burn and blow away
What happened to the dream she had

She's back to everything she breathes fire
She's back in society she breathes fire
Given up on everything she breathes fire
She's back to the family she breathes fire
She's back in the memories she breathes fire
Giving up on anything she breathes fire
She breathes fire
