Malibu Stacy Lyrics

Jenny broke the window

Trying to catch a cloud, there outside

Breaking her back just to make a name

Breaking her back just to float 'way down wind
Jenny worked too hard and lost sight of herself, ultimately being carried away by the wind.

Sonny lit a filter

Wondering what he would pull tonight

Breaking his back just to know a name

Breaking his back just to lay her down there

While I keep waxing long
The artist spends a lot of time thinking and talking about other people's actions and what's happening around them.

About their right and wrongs
The artist is discussing society's interpretations of what's good and bad.

Sitting in my little glass bowl
The singer is in a safe environment, unable to participate in what's happening outside.

So many quarries outside
There are so many problems occurring outside of the artist's safe environment.

It's always someone else
The singer believes the blame always falls on someone else, and not themselves.

Sitting in my glass walls
The singer is trapped in their own safe environment and unable to help the people suffering outside.

Come on, come on, commons
The singer is urging people to pay attention to what's happening around them.

The odds are all they want
People are only interested in the chances of success with minimal risk involved.

Is broken backs and bees and butter...flies and
People only want to achieve their goals even if it means taking up a lot of hard work and experiencing the difficulties of the journey.

Moving 'round again
People are constantly moving around, trying to achieve something but not taking the opportunity to reflect on what's happening.

And being someone else
People are willing to change who they are to fit in, regardless of the potential harm to themselves and others.

Looking 'round to see there's someone
People are always looking around themselves, whether it's for judgment or to find their next move.

Come 'round, your lives are special
The artist is encouraging people to appreciate their own lives and make better decisions, despite the pressures of society.

Lucy helped the old dear

Swear she was a child not long ago

Breaking her back to recall a name
