Pauline Taylor
Piece of the Pie



It is late
She is tired
They won't wait
Not enough
Hours in the day to do
What she wants
Needs the time
To relax
Take a break
From the noise
Going round and round in her head

What was she thinking?
It was going to be easy
But she knows there's a light in the sky that'll shine her name
There's a light in the sky that shines her name

She is out on the town
Dancing round
With some people who don't even know what she's like
Deep inside
She can call them her friends
But they're not in the end
Cause they don't know the pain she feels

What was she thinking?
It was going to be easy
But she knows there's a light in the sky that'll shine her name
There's a light in the sky that shines her name

Not enough pills to dull the pain
But she ends up taking them just the same
And they all want a piece of the pie

No one there when she gets home
So many messages on the phone
And they all want a piece of the pie

Sacrifices were made
And the price, that was paid
Didn't know it would be so high
At the end of the day
Should she just run away from the noise going round and round in her 
head?

What was she thinking?
It was going to be easy
But she knows there's a light in the sky that'll shine her name
There's a light in the sky that shines her name

But she knows there's a light in the sky that'll shine her name
There's a light in the sky that shines her name

Not enough pills to dull the pain
But she ends up taking them just the same
And they all want a piece of the pie

No one there when she gets home
So many messages on the phone
And they all want a piece of the pie

Not enough pills to dull the pain
But she ends up taking them just the same
And they all want a piece of the pie

No one there when she gets home
So many messages on the phone
And they all want a piece of the pie
