    Story of another good girl gone bad while mom looks the other way. Desperate efforts to come clean fall apart time and time again, until she loses the last thing she holds dear...
    CD: Braving the Nightview   Label: Army Aunt Productions
    Credits: Written and performed by Jake Godfrey

    Story Behind the Song
    Written some time ago in the twists of a willow tree in Westmount park. I've known this girl many times over.

    With the album already weighing at over two hours, the elves at Army Aunt Studios were concerned that this song ran too long, so we stayed up all night drinking Yop and brainstorming. Finally it was decided that only as is would do it justice and it was sent to post-production. Now I regret not cutting down on the instrumental interludes between verses.

    Lyrics
    Living was dirty for a young lady
    After some years on her own had warped her
    The good girl she was turned tattered and needy
    In that way that release from restraint like a stone hurtles aimlessly

    As support for her wained, so grew the addict
    Which she fed like a hound with a needle
    Her body grew gaunt and her hair became stringy
    And she worked on the mercy of men who could feed her

    Tie the band and start the show
    Push the plunger then let go
    Burn through sensation on the wings of a jet
    Oh the feeling!
    Mom would never believe it

    Entangled lovers push to be closer
    One in the euphoric cruise of the landing
    Back on her feet she can't wait to be higher
    Her lover makes calls while she paces and argues

    One more bad run leaves her in the corner
    Clutching her knees while the tears tickle her cheeks
    She and her lover vow to start over
    To shadow the piercing light her memory shows her

    Tie the band and start the show
    Face the wind and then live slow
    It didn't take long to let back go
    Oh, the craving!
    Mom would never believe it

    She holds her lover in her arms
    His lifeless body moves through time
    The weight of his figure pulls her to her knees
    Oh, if her mom could only see her

    Tie the band and start the show
    Rage the rapids then follow the flow
    Maybe one more time to let go
    Oh, the surrender!
    Mom would never believe it
