Somebody's Baby

(album: Winter - 2008)

She yells, "If you're homeless sure as hell you'd be drunk
Or high or trying to get there or begging for junk
When the people don't want you
They just throw you money for beer"

Her name was November
She went by Autumn or Fall
It was 7 long years since the Autumn when
All of her nightmares grew fingers and
All of her dreams grew a tear

She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
And she's somebody's baby still

She screams, "Well if you've never gone it alone
Well then go ahead you better throw the first stone
You got one lonely stoner
Waiting to bring to her knees"

She dreams about heaven, remembering hell
As the nightmare she visits and knows all too well
Every now and again, when she's sober, she brushes her teeth

She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
And she's somebody's baby still

Today was her birthday, strangely enough
When the cops found her body at the foot of a bluff
The anonymous caller this morning tipped off the police
They got her ID from her dental remains
The same fillings intact, the same nicotine stains
The birth and the death were both over
With no one to grieve

She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
She's somebody's baby
Somebody's baby girl
And she's somebody's baby still
She's somebody's baby still
