Maybelline just turned fourteen didnโt get no birthday cake
Case 9173, sheโs a custody of the state
She tells everybody she looks like her mama
โCause sheโs never seen her daddyโs 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 theyโre out there somewhere โcause she sees them every day
When she flies out of her mind
To a beautiful place with sunny skies
Sheโs free when she dreams
Sheโs Queen Maybelline
Maybellineโs got a polaroid of all the different families
The Howserโs, Gimmonโs, Nicholsonโs
Another short term memory
She never winds up anywhere but they donโt ask her to leave
An invisible girl in a cruel, cruel world
Still canโt find some peace
When she flies out of her mind
To a beautiful place with sunny skies
Sheโs free when she dreams
Sheโs Queen Maybelline
She knows God donโt make mistakes
She believes thereโll come a day
When sheโll finally finds her place yeah
Yeah
When she flies out of her mind
To a beautiful place with sunny skies
Sheโs free when she dreams
Sheโs Queen Maybelline
Free when she dreams
Sheโs Queen Maybelline
Free when she dreams
Sheโs Queen Maybelline
Hey yeah
Hey yeah
A little Maybelline
A little Maybelline
Hey yeah
