Daddy's Little Girl - Lyrics by Julia Ecklar ©1983
Daddy's little girl
grew up one night last fall
when Mommy died beneath the kitchen stairs.
And now they cry in anger
'cause we won't come when they call,
and they won't let us find peace anywhere.
But if they ever hold us,
I fear what I might hurl.
For though they've never told us,
Daddy's Girl can burn the world.
Fire, fire, fire
with the baby in the pen.
Fire, fire, fire,
is the lady's only friend.
And if they dare the darkness, and try to hem us in
Daddy's little girl forgets the past...
They'll find their Firestarter's grown up fast.
Stallions running madly
with manes and tails aflame,
pounding through my dreams in nightmare herds.
Just running, always running,
not outdistancing the pain,
but Daddy's Girl could end it in a word.
But I never want to hurt them
for I know that would be bad.
But they push and hate and scare us,
they don't know all I have.
I have fire, fire, fire
to bring monsters in the night.
Fire, fire, fire
burns my life in hellish light.
Burning hands and burning hair, must I burn all I see?
Fury and the fire are close friends,
and the fire starting nightmare never ends.
A year is spent inside
learning how to wield a burn.
Light your match --
before your eye could see.
But now something's going wrong,
and we're trapped around each turn,
locked within a cell without a key.
And there's nowhere left to run to,
and nowhere left to turn,
and there's nothing left to run for,
but there's some-thing-left-to burn.
Oh, fire, fire, fire
warms the willow trees at night.
Oh, fire, fire, fire
will make everything all right.
Destroy my life and family as if you all were gods.
But you taught Daddy's Girl that game you fools,
and Firestarters don't play by the rules.
Added emphasis and embellishments are my own (I think... I've never seen an official copy of the lyrics).
Heh, now I want to go read Firestarter...
