Colleen - never to be crowned queen, never an evergreen Floating above the scene as still as a figurine Expressionless, so serene, but I know what makes you scream So don't you run out of steam - I know you, Colleen It's been all messed up since the very beginning But you act so tough, people think that you're winning And everyone wants something from Colleen Colleen - perpetually between what is and what could have been Floating through your routine every day since you were fifteen And as rosy as you make it seem, I know life for you ain't been a dream To have to deal with the things you've seen while they work you like you're a machine Machines break down, but you can't break with them It's too late now, so don't break the rhythm And everyone wants something form Colleen Colleen, if ever you walk into a dead-end street, come clean - Don't say that it's all in your mind because I know what you mean - Colleen It's been all messed up since the very beginning It's too late now, 'cause we're already in it And everyone wants something from Colleen (and no one gets 'cause she's no one's Colleen)
