American schools called you starlight
in fourteen-point type
10 x 10 and then
your most brutal-ful smile
you were looted
you opened wide
gave props to the knives
props to the cheating wives
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
you erased so many mistakes
by sitting up and smiling
your solo show
i hope it never closes
it was the ride of my life
twice, you burned your life's work
once to start a new life
and once just to start a fire
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
you are
no, you are
uh, no, you are
no, you are
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
be kind to the new girl
