Holly O' - Wendy McNeill

she walks around the corner

her heart small and tight as the ass in her jeans

she is a nail biter

fueled by fire and comic book scenes

she thought art held the answer

but the moments of insight made the questions get larger

she knew this town held treasure

but the map was confusing started feeling like pressure

hey yo

what do you know

sweet holly sweet holly sweet holly o'?

hey yo

where will you go

sweet holly sweet holly sweet holly o'?

she says she’s not worried of being alone

her mind gives her more than her lovers

has no desire to travel back home

the big smoke nurtures more than her mother

a three legged dog hobbled across her path

part polka part freak show

she studied she laughed

as she thought about how he’d arrived at that state

was it genetics or some weird twist of fate

no collar no master

how she could relate

hey yo

what do you know

sweet holly sweet holly sweet holly o'?

hey yo

where will you go

sweet holly sweet holly sweet holly o'?
