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 but 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

Hey yeah
Hey yeah
A little Maybelline
A little Maybelline
Hey yeah
