Streetlight, pick a fight with a stranger
I've been saving up my anger
Stacking up like pennies in my pocket
Whistle like a runaway train, and I lost it

Good girls die young, don't you know they got 'em?
All lined up with names on their coffins
Mary Beth died with stars in her eyes
I've been running from her ghost all my life, oh

Ooh, ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying
Good girls, good girls

Broken pieces under the rug
A thesis of all I've loved
Reeling in the aftermath
I wish that you could take it back
Burning in my lungs again
The taste of your carcinogen
Every breath, a feeling
I'm gettin' good at healing

Ooh, ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying
Good girls, good girls

Don't waste your time on me
I followed your liturgy
I'm takin' back my offering
The blood I bleed, my eulogy
You buried me, and now I'm singing

Ooh, ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying
Good girls, good girls

Streetlight, pick a fight with a stranger
I've been saving up my anger
Stacking up like pennies in my pocket
Whistle like a runaway train, and I lost it

Good girls die young, don't you know they got 'em?
All lined up with names on their coffins (I hear them)
Mary Beth died with stars in her eyes (crying, crying)
I've been runnin' from her ghost all my life, oh (good girls, good girls)

Ooh, ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying
Good girls, good girls
Ooh, ooh, ah, I hear them crying, crying
Good girls, good girls

Good girls die young, don't you know they got 'em?
All lined up with names on their coffins
Mary Beth died with stars in her eyes
I've been runnin' from her ghost all my life
