Queen Maybelline Lyrics

Maybelline just turned fourteen didn�t get no birthday cake
Case 9173, she�s a custody of the state
She tells everybody she looks like her mama
�Cause she�s never seen her daddy�s eyes
Just a throw away baby from the 1980s
Another unwanted child yeah
Yeah

Maybelline wears a turquoise ring that was found in her personal file
She assumes it was left as a clue that she might some day find
An aunt living in New Mexico or an uncle out in L.A.
She knows they�re out there somewhere �cause she sees them every day

When she flies out of her mind
To a beautiful place with sunny skies
She�s free when she dreams
She�s Queen Maybelline

Maybelline�s got a polaroid of all the different families
The Howser�s, Gimmon�s, Nicholson�s
Another short term memory
She never winds up anywhere but they don�t ask her to leave
An invisible girl in a cruel, cruel world
Still can�t find some peace

When she flies out of her mind
To a beautiful place with sunny skies
She�s free when she dreams
She�s Queen Maybelline

She knows God don�t make mistakes
She believes there�ll come a day
When she�ll finally finds her place yeah
Yeah

When she flies out of her mind
To a beautiful place with sunny skies
She�s free when she dreams
She�s Queen Maybelline

Free when she dreams
She�s Queen Maybelline
Free when she dreams
She�s Queen Maybelline

Hey yeah
Hey yeah
A little Maybelline
A little Maybelline
Hey yeah
