Tell Me When

She's all by herself at the end of the day
 She'd talk to herself but wouldn't know what to say
 Wrings her hands and steps out of the bath
 The mirror laughs and splits her in half
 She looks around the room at her carpeted tomb
 Threw the phone on the floor, left the keys in the door
 Tell me when, tell me when
 Tell me when, when does life begin
 She got in the car and looked up at the stars
 And made a wish
 She held her breath and considered death
 And in the rear view mirror she looked back on her reflection
 She was a long way from she wanted to be
 And a long way from perfection
 Tell me when, tell me when
 Tell me when, tell me when
 Tell me when
 When does life begin
 She chickened out and she called triple A
 And told them the way
 After she paid they fixed the car
 She got on her way and she drove past the bar
 When no one bought her a drink at
 She always though it was 'cause she was too fat
 And now she knows those places blow
 Or maybe it was her nose
 Tell me when, tell me when
 Tell me when, tell me when
 Tell me when
 When does life begin
 When does life begin
