Sunshine Over The Counter

Sunshine over the counter again
 The bank's running low
 I don't want your looks
 I don't want your candy
 I want your medicine
 I've been waiting for something good to really happen
 It's the way it's always been
 Or the way it's never been
 I'm a coward at heart with some good excuses
 Sending my surrogate
 Stick you with a pen
 Cut you with some paper
 Feeling braver drinking gin
 I know just what to say after we're together
 It's the way I've always been
 Showing little to no skin
 Good girl
 Got some bad in her
 Cussing like a drunk
 Driving with her knees
 Quarter to quarter
 Dealing with the torture
 Of living high
 To not feel low
 Spending more to not feel broke
 I'm the middle child
 Of fear and democracy
 I'm making my religion proud
 Keep it to yourself
 Keep it in the family
 Keep your loud voice down
 Is the room getting smaller
 Or is it just your daughter?
 Laying the blueprint out
 Raise no question, feel no doubt
 Good girl
 Got some bad in her
 Green ink heart
 On her lower back
 Knife in the toaster
 Didn't know it could kill her
 Living high
 To not feel low
 Saying you know what you don't
 Whose love and whose dime
 Is paying for it this time?
 A little tall for your grade
 Overworked and underpaid
 Bad girl
 Got some good in her
 Cussing like a drunk
 Driving with her knees
 Quarter to quarter
 Dealing with the torture
 Of living high to not feel low
 Bad girl
 Got some good in her
 Got some guilt too
 You'll see if you're looking
 Losing grip
 And skipping dinners
 Don't you remember feeling low?
 When it got hard to say no
 Living high to not feel
 So low
