The Elected
"Desiree"

Well, this is not a good sign
you don't know when, but you're running out of time
and then the life that you had and your heart
well, it passed on before you fell apart

don't you know you're a good girl?
won't you please act that way?
oh, be a good girl, desiree

well, she grew up just south of Eau Claire
dreaming of a dirt road anywhere
and the boys, they would drive her right into the night
and through the darkness she could at least see city lights
and if you're going to go a mile
may as well go all the way
oh, and you were moving, desiree
so, get moving desiree

and you thought you'd live forever
but you're not so sure today
so you dropped to your knees and you prayed
and you thought you'd lived forever
but if your heart should stop today
god knows you were a good girl anyway
so, be a good girl desiree

oh, you're a good girl, desiree
