"She knows if you were homeless sure as hell you'd be drunk
Or high trying to get there, or begging for junk
When the people don't want you, they just throw you money for beer.

Her name was November, she went by Autumn to Fall
It was seven long years since the autumn when all
Of her nightmares grew fingers and all of her dreams grew a tear.

She's somebody's baby, somebody's baby girl.
And she's somebody's baby still.

She screams, 'Well if you've never gone it alone
Well then go ahead you'd better throw the first stone'
You've got one lonely stoner waiting to bring to her knees.

She dreams about heaven, remembering hell
There's a nightmare she visits and knows all too well
And every now and again when she's sober she brushes her teeth

Today was her birthday, strangely enough
When the cops found her body at the foot of the bluffs
An anonymous caller, this morning, tipped off the police

They got her ID from her dental remains
The same fillings intact, the same nicotine stains
Her birth and her death are both over with no one to grieve.

She's somebody's baby, somebody's baby girl.
And she's somebody's baby still."
