Intro

Eight days straight

Strapped down to a hospital Bed

 ‘Cause you took spray paint

 And scribbled Peace on the walls of the city

 When policemen came

 Not a quiet surrender was what you gave, oh

 When they brought you home

 You tore off your clothes

 And danced in the garden

 Singing halleluiah, oh

 When they brought you home

 The poems you wrote

 About a brave young girl

 And the snake that swallowed her whole

Your mother cried

When you told her

You were Bernadette Peters

She was terrified

Called me up pleaded

Won’t you come see her?

And upon arrival

 You ran outside

 To cartwheel down the drive

 When they brought you home

 You tore off your clothes

 And danced in the garden

 Singing halleluiah, oh

 When they brought you home

 The poems you wrote

 About a brave young girl

 And the snake that swallowed her whole

Oh, When they brought you home

 You tore off your clothes

 And danced in the garden

 Singing halleluiah, oh

 When they brought you home

 The poems you wrote

 About a brave young girl

 And the snake that swallowed her whole
