A girl once lived in a basement Stuck in her own entrapment Living off scraps and presents Scraping away at her patience
If she squinted just right She could see some daylight And what a delight it would be to be outside Just playing all day And laughing away Oh, what a delight it would be
A girl once lived in a basement Self-imprisoned in darkness Waiting for horse and carriage To whisk her away from this sadness
If she wished really hard And sang out real loud Then some passerby's bound to pass and hear the sound But nobody cares 'Cause no one's out there So she'll sing a song till she's dead
