DIANA
Maybe I've lost it at least
Maybe my last lucid moment has passed
I'm dancing with death, I suppose
But really, who knows?
Could be I'm crazy to go
They say you should stay with the devil you know
But when life needs a change
And the one devil won't
You fight to the devil you don't
Maybe I'm tired of the game
Of coming up short of the rules, of the shame
And maybe you feel that way too
I see me in you
A girl full of anger and hope
A girl with a mother who just couldn't cope
A girl who felt caught
And thought that no-one could see
That maybe one day she'll be free
NATALIE
It's so lovely that you're sharing
No, really, I'm all ears
But where has all this caring been
For sixteen years?
For all those years I prayed that you'd go away for good
Half the time afraid that you really would
