lyrics

She was all made up of anger
packs of off-brand cigarettes
Nonetheless employee of the
month over at Skaggs

Her husband slid from teenage all star
down into their living room
Surrounded by old Skynyrd tapes
his buddies and some bongs

CHORUS
Stacy lived on Military Road
Stacy meant to lighten up her load

10 a.m., sees cloud formations
Airplane passing overhead
wants to follow, wants to jet
Wants to fly away

10:05, she finds a match
between her anger and her home
She finds a match, lights a fire
then off to work at Skaggs

CHORUS

Stacy lived on Military Road
Stacy meant to lighten up her load

A cloud can swallow anything
People run to the parking lot
Fire trucks, great concern
I can help the next customer

The cloud is heat. Heat rises.
Cigarette. Long glances.
Anacin and masking tape.
Unfolding of her wings.

CHORUS

Cigarette. Her house is burning.
Cigarette. Whole town is burning.
Don’t forget the sky is calling.
Don’t forget the plan.

She's lifting. Off the ground.
Not seeing - anyone around.
He won’t ever get her down.
No one gonna keep her down.

(CHORUS) (cut the last chorus)
