Indigo Girls The Ballad Of Squeaky Fromme Lyrics

The Ballad Of Squeaky Fromme Lyrics

i`m scared as hell
squeaky`s out of jail
i can feel her close behind me
like the devil on my heels
well they say she`s heading to california
or maybe for dc
well i`m sitting here down in georgia
i`m talking with my family

the contras called a truce
and they broke it in an hour
now someone sitting in the tower of babel
is giving them that power
they stopped the war in bethlehem
oh to let sweet jesus pass
but how much does it really mean
they screw him over behind his back

i can feel her closing in
and i hope she understands
that society and me
now we aren`t necessarily hand in hand
she`s broken all her bonds
got no superficial cause
she gave up all her chances
to live inside the law

so squeaky 
peace on earth
will you tell me what it`s worth
from the inside out i`d let you in
you might understand
now squeaky
in your mixed-up mind
you may not be so blind
ah squeaky give me peace on earth
and then you tell me what it`s worth
now squeaky give me peace on earth
and then you tell me what it`s worth 
from the inside out i`d let you in
cause you might understand 
god is in my heart
but the devil is in our bones
and squeaky 
oh squeaky
you are not alone
yeah you are not alone
give me peace on earth
give me peace on earth
peace on earth
peace on earth
peace on earth
peace on earth
peace on earth
peace on earth
now squeaky give me peace on earth
and then you tell me what it`s worth
from the inside out i would, i would let you in
i think that you might understand 
that god, god is in my heart
but the devil 
i said the devil
the devil`s in our bones
and squeaky 
oh squeaky
we are not alone
