Maybelline just turned fourteen didn?t get no birthday cake Case 9173, she?s a custody of the state She tells everybody she looks like her mama ?Cause she?s never seen her daddy?s eyes Just a throw away baby from the 1980s Another unwanted child yeah, Yeah Maybelline wears a turquoise ring that was found in her personal file She assumes it was left as a clue that she might some day find An aunt living in New Mexico or an uncle out in L.A. She knows they?re out there somewhere ?cause she sees them every day When she flies out of her mind To a beautiful place with sunny skies She?s free when she dreams She?s Queen Maybelline Maybelline?s got a polaroid of all the different families The Howser?s, Gimmon?s, Nicholson?s, another short term memory She never winds up anywhere that they don't ask her to leave An invisible girl in a cruel, cruel world, still can't find some peace When she flies out of her mind To a beautiful place with sunny skies She?s free when she dreams She?s Queen Maybelline She knows God don't make mistakes She believes there?ll come a day When she?ll finally find her place yeah, yeah, yeah yeah When she flies out of her mind To a beautiful place with sunny skies She?s free when she dreams She?s Queen Maybelline Free when she dreams She?s Queen Maybelline Free when she dreams She?s Queen Maybelline A little Maybelline, a little Maybelline, yeah (repeats until fades)
