Waited for an answer  But I waited for twenty five years  They stopped my bleeding  But could never stop all those tears  I waited for the day when  He came out from beneath all that weight  I tried to lift it  But it seems I got there too  Late  Just to late  Just to late  Cause I'm allowed  Came to the party  But I got my own signals crossed  Thought I was welcome  But I felt like I should get lost  I know that I'm older  Cause I feel that everywhere  I could talk to no one  Cause I knew not one person  There  No one's there  They just stared  But they're allowed  As vivid as a car wreck  Watch them dripping off highway ramps  She came to me smiling  Her heart underneath both her hands  She spoke of a French boy  At least two times through the night  It could have been the liquor  Or the music but that is  All right  That's all right  She's allowed  And I'm allowed  I'm allowed  I'm allowed  © 1993 Scrawny Music, BMI
