lyrics

When Jenny was a little girl,
she sang, "Ooh, Ooh."
When Jenny was a little girl,
she sang, "Ooh, Ooh."

And when the day turned into dark
she put her fingers over her heart
and then she clawed away and clawed
until she disappeared inside her
disappeared, but she wasn't dead
disappeared until she turned into a ghost.

When Jenny was a teenager
she hid cigarettes
When Jenny was a teenager
she hid cigarettes

Underneath the bathroom sink
it was the only place that's safe
and all the secrets that she keeps
Oh well, they wore away
inside her head
wore away, but she wasn't dead
wore away, until she turned into a ghost

and Jenny stared at those stars
and Jenny stared at those locks
and neither one of them gave her hope.

When Jenny was a little older
she ran away
When Jenny was a little older
she ran away

But all those secrets she left behind
they were always on her mind
and all those dreams she has at night
Oh well, they
wore away, inside her head
wore away, but she wasn't dead
wore away, until she turned into a ghost

and Jenny stared at those stars
and Jenny stared at those locks
and neither one of them gave her hope.
