She is running

100 Miles an hour

In the wrong direction

She is trying

But the canyons ever widening

In the depths of her cold heart

So she sets out on another misadverture just to find

she's another 2 years older and she's 3 more steps behind

Chorus:

Does anybody hear her?

Can anybody see?

Lord does anybody even know she's going down today?

Under the shadow of our steeple

with all the lost and lonely people

Searching for the hope that tucked away in you and me

Does anybody hear her?

Can anybody see?

She is yearning

For shelter and affection

That she never found at home

She is searching

For a hero to ride in,

to ride in and save the day

And then walks in her prince charming

and he knows just what to say

A momentary lapse of reason

and she gives herself away

Chorus

If judgement looms under every steeple

If lofty glances from lofty people

Who can't see past her scarlet letter

And we never even met her

If judgement looms under every steeple

If lofty glances from lofty people

Who can't see past her scarlet letter

And we never even met her

Never even met her

Chorus 2x

He is running 100 miles an hour in the wrong direction
