She spread her legs and flew away As if she had nothing to say As if she had someplace to go Among the broken crowd below And though she never got concerned A string of bad luck left her burned She swallowed everything they sold And then she swallowed herself whole She spread her legs and flew away She spread her legs and flew away As if she had no time to waste As if she'd left what she'd begun A minor detail left undone Then in mid flight she smashed a wall That stood one hundred stories tall Among the bricks they found her bones And so she never made it home She spread her legs and flew away She spread her legs and flew away Of this there's nothing more to say She was not somebody that we know We had been standing way too low To see her fly by without fear Through all the fanfare and the cheer To watch the marquee brightly say, She spread her legs and flew away She spread her legs and flew away
