Songwriter: Jackie Stanley

lyrics

First heard of Eliza on the second of March
She was on my mind for weeks after that
Her innocence faded, her hair falling down
She was ended before she had a chance to start

This little girl, she travelled the west
Headed down the warm coast and soon needed rest
So she found a hotel and a pillow to lay
Her weary head as she followed her heart

The hotel was quite scary
She wandered the halls
Looking for answers and finding her hands
She did a strange dance as she moved floor to floor
She was pushing my buttons
She was pushing them all

I waited in the shadows and I swallowed hard
As I heard the great moan of the old elevator
I knew no one had paid her
And I'd have to bait her
With the tips of her fingers she pointed to me

Eliza was no one, an unknown at best
Until her name backwards spelled out a test
For a disease so rampant it swallows folks whole
Down on skid row, enjoying the show

I ain't lyin'

Together we walked to the roof as she spoke
And I followed her up to a pool of black water
She smiled at me sweetly as she took off her clothes
And vanished into darkness
Too sad to behold

Well I stood there weeks later on that very same roof
Wondering why only good disappears
Light fades but not darkness
It will always remain
If this candle keeps burnin' I'll be safe for the night

I waited in the shadows
I swallowed hard
I ain't lyin'

We all know Eliza never really existed
But her names me cry when I picture her face
Fear and despair are all part of the system
It's so easy to grieve when you're barely resistin'

I waited in the shadows
I swallowed hard
I ain't lyin'
