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
