She´s reaching for her backpack
Puts out a cigarette and gets on the bus
She´s seating on a secret she didn´t ask for, no girl ever did
There´s a whisper in her heartbeat

She can hear it just enough to keep her alive
But she´s breathing in the blowback
There´s nothing you can offer she ain´t already tried

But she´s breathing in the blowback
Born into poor white trash and always type-cast
But she´s gonna break out, boy, you better know that
It´s just a matter of time, she fights back
Breathing in the blowback

She is sucking on a Tic-tac
A good man is a mystery, she´s looking for clues
Whoa, you better check that, buddy
´Cause the blacktop´s burning up what´s left of the fuse
She knows where she comes from

Doesn´t need you dragging her all through it again
It´s like breathing in the blowback
It´s a hijack, now how much sure are you willing to spend?

But she´s breathing in the blowback
Born into poor white trash and always type-cast
But she´s gonna break out, boy, you better know that
It´s just a matter of time, she fights back
Breathing in the blowback

Pinwheels spinning, roller skates and red flags
Breathing in the blowback
She´s gonna break out, boy, you better know that
Can you cast out a demon?
Can you wrangle the wind?

Will you stay when she´s breathing the blowback again?
