She's all by herself at the end of the day   She'd talk to herself but wouldn't know what to say   Wrings her hands and steps out of the bath   The mirror laughs and splits her in half      She looks around the room   At her carpeted tomb   Threw the phone on the floor   Left the keys in the door      Tell me when does life begin      She got in the car and looked up at the stars   And made a wish   She held her breath and considered death      And in the rearview mirror   She looked back on her reflection   She was a long way from she wanted to be   And a long way from perfection      Tell me when does life begin      She chickened out and she called triple-A   And told them the way   After she paid they fixed the car   She got on her way and she drove past the bar      Where no one bought her a drink at   She always though it was 'cause she was too fat   And now she knows those places blow   Or maybe it was her nose      Tell me when does life begin
