Blowback lyrics

[Verse 1]

She's reaching for her backpack

Puts out a cigarette and gets on the bus

She's sittin' on a secret

She didn't ask for, no girl ever did

But there's a whisper in her heartbeat

And she can hear it just enough to keep her alive

When she's breathing in the blowback

There's nothing you can offer she ain't already tried

[Chorus]

But she's breathing in the blowback

Born into poor white trash and always typecast

But she's gonna break out, boy, you'd better know that

It's just a matter of time

She fights back

(Breathing in again)

Breathing in the blowback

[Verse 2]

She is sucking on a Tic-Tac

A good man is a mystery, she's looking for clues

Woah, you'd better check that, buddy

'Cause the blacktop's burning up what's left of the fuse

And she knows where she comes from

Doesn't need you dragging her all through it again

It's like breathing in the blowback

It's a hijack, now how much are you willing to spend?

[Chorus]

But she's breathing in the blowback

Born into poor white trash and always typecast

But she's gonna break out, boy, you'd better know that

It's just a matter of time

She fights back

(Breathing in again)

Breathing in the blowback

[Bridge]

(Breathing in the blowback)

Pinwheels spinning, roller skates and red flags

(Breathing in the blowback)

She's gonna break out, boy, you'd better know that

[Outro]

Can you cast out a demon?

Can you wrangle the wind?

Will you stay when she's breathing the blowback again?
