She says she's not to be trifled with   On the account of how she is   She don't know where she's going   And she don't know how she feels      And now she's stuck   Flipped over with her head in the sand, didn't even bother to look around   She needs something that will make her understand before she's lost and can never be found      It's tragic   Tragic that it had to end this way   It's tragic   Tragic tragic tragic yeah      She's painting pictures with kaleidoscope eyes behind a banner of blue and gray   And all the while she's thinking what a surprise but I think that in fact she knew all day      And now she's downed one too many she done maxed out her life   And now she's leaving it for better days   And inside she's not thinking about why but how   It came to be this way      It's tragic   Tragic that it had to end this way   It's tragic   Tragic tragic tragic yeah
