I'm Allowed

Waited for an answer But I waited for twenty five years They stopped my bleedin' But could never stop all those tears I waited for the day when He came out from beneath all that weight I tried to lift it But it seems I got there too late Just too late, just too late 'Cause I'm allowed Came to the party But I got my own signals crossed Thought I was welcome But I felt like I should get lost I know that I'm older 'Cause I feel that everywhere I could talk to no one 'Cause I knew not one person there No one's there, they just stared But they're allowed Vivid as a car wreck Watch them drippin' off highway ramps Came to me smilin' Her heart underneath both her hands She spoke of a French boy At least two times through the night It could have been the liquor Or the music, that is all right That's all right, she's allowed I'm allowed, I'm allowed, I'm allowed
