The Bolter

By all accounts, she almost drownedWhen she was six in frigid waterAnd I can confirm she madeA curious child, ever reviledBy everyone except her own fatherWith a quite bewitching faceSplendidly selfish, charmingly helplessExcellent fun till you get to know herThen she runs like it's a raceBehind her back, her best mates laughedAnd they nicknamed her The BolterStarted with a kiss"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"But it always ends up with a town car speedingOut the drive one eveningEnded with the slam of a doorThen he'll call her a whoreWish he wouldn't be soreBut as she was leavingIt felt like breathingAll her fuckin' livesFlashed before her eyesIt feels like the timeShe fell through the iceThen came out aliveHe was a cad, wanted her badJust like any good trophy hunterAnd she liked the way it tastesTaming a bear, making him careWatching him jump then pulling him underAnd at first blush, this is fateWhen it's all roses, portrait posesCentral Park Lake in tiny rowboatsWhat a charming SaturdayThat's when she sees the littlest leaksDown in the floorboardsAnd she just knowsShe must boltStarted with a kiss"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"But it always ends up with a town car speedingOut the drive one eveningEnded with the slam of a doorThen he'll call her a whoreWish he wouldn't be soreBut as she was leavingIt felt like breathingAll her fuckin' livesFlashed before her eyesIt feels like the timeShe fell through the iceThen came out aliveShe's been many places withMen of many facesFirst they're off to the racesAnd she's laughing drawin' acesBut, none of it is changin'That the chariot is waitin'Hearts are hers for the breakin'There's escape in escapingStarted with a kiss"Oh, we must stop meeting like this"But it always ends with a town car speedingOut the drive one evenin'Ended with the slam of a doorBut she's got the best storiesYou can be sureThat as she was leavingIt felt like freedomAll her fuckin' livesFlashed before her eyesAnd she realizedIt feels like the timeShe fell through the iceThen came out alive
