She′s reaching for her backpack

Puts out a cigarette and gets on the bus

She's seating on a secretShe didn′t ask for, no girl ever did

There's a whisper in her heartbeat

She can hear it just enough to keep her alive

But she's breathing in the blowback

There′s nothing you can offer she ain′t already tried

But she's breathing in the blowback

Born into poor white trash and always type-cast

But she′s gonna break out, boy, you better know that

It's just a matter of time, she fights back

(Breathing again)

Breathing in the blowback

She is sucking on a tic-tac

A good man is a mystery, she′s looking for clues

Whoa, you better check that, buddy

'Cause the blacktop′s burning up what's left of the fuse

She knows where she comes from

Doesn't need you dragging her all through it again

It′s like breathing in the blowback

It′s a hijack, now how much sure are you willing to spend?

But she's breathing in the blowback

Born into poor white trash and always type-cast

But she′s gonna break out, boy, you better know that

It's just a matter of time, she fights back

(Breathing again)

Breathing in the blowback

(Breathing in the blowback)

Pinwheels spinning, roller skates and red flags

(Breathing in the blowback)

She′s gonna break out, boy, you better know that

Can you cast out a demon?

Can you wrangle the wind?

Will you stay when she's breathing the blowback again?
