Lyla in bloom Her innocence and youth stripped away Eighteen years old But she's lived the life a sixty-eight The heartache of a Mother gone And a Father she's never known So she dreams of a better place
Scared and alone Turning tricks and getting stoned to survive Vegas sex queen Living in a world that's so obscene in a dead-end life At the end of every tragic day She says this to herself If I can hold on I know
When I find my wings I'll fly away Over the mountains Over the pain And I won't look back 'Cause I've gotta get away from here I've gotta get away from here
When I find my wings I'll fly away Over the mountains Over the pain And I won't look back 'Cause I've gotta get away from here I've gotta get away from here I'll find my wings I'll fly away Lyla, Lyla, Lyla, Lyla, I won't look back I've gotta get away from here I've gotta get away from here
