She believes her knight in shining
armor
Will come knocking at her door
With wine and long stem roses
And so she waits and waits some
more
But the truth is all but missing
And what there is she keeps inside
Where she's chained the chains and
locked the locks
And barred the other side
And she believes the sky is crystal
blue
When there's storm clouds all around
And she believes that guys like
me and you
Well, we'd never let her down
And she believes if she works hard
and prays
She’ll get what she asks for;
Like a knight in shining armor
With wine and roses at her door.
And she gets up each day like a child
at play
While her world starts spinning
'round
And she makes believe 'till she
can't concieve
How hard she's coming down
But she's living out a vision
And her mind is her best friend
And friends are hard to come by
And so you trust them to the end
And she believes that soon there'll
be no wars
As those oil fires burn
And she believes that we all have
a chance
If we'd only wait our turn
And she believes if she works hard
and prays
She'll get what she ask for
Like a knight in shining armor
With wine and roses at her door
But the only knights she'll ever
see
Are the nights she spends alone
"Cause she's thrown the truth in
prison
And she's chained and locked the
doors
While her mind is free to roam the
streets
It's her heart that's serving time
But friends are hard to come by
And her best friend is her mind
I said, best friends are hard to
come by
And her best friend is her mind
