Belinda

Belinda lived her insane life
reachin' out to the naked skies
a wild cat, a queen of the night
time an' time again reachin' out
for that side where angels fly in
blindin' light

speed filled her days and nights
it was maddening, demanding an'
rough a bird tryin' to catch the sun
she got burned on her last run

Belinda, queen of birds, livin'
a long short life, tried to catch
the sun, never got close to that
light

and time was gettin' to be short
in supply, a line was cast to that
other side, booze was a torment
drugs a need, this lady coudn't
budge or leave, then...kicked it
aside for a clean life

Belinda, queen of birds, livin'
a long short life, tried to catch
the sun, she got burned
