lyrics

The roaring music from the poor P.A.
Four hundred faces all facing her way
Some choreography and costumes
Are helping Shelby stay composed today

A kind rendition of a crooked smile
A lunchroom exit led in single file
The final lap left in this last mile
Are helping Shelby stay composed today

Shelby tries...

Ballpoint graffiti on the tabletop
Some boring stories and some rotten pop
Fists full of pickles crunching non-stop
Are helping Shelby stay composed today

Some sidewalk smalltalk as the curtain fell
Some sordid secret she can't wait to tell
Some vague promises and a school bell
Are helping Shelby stay composed

Shelby tries...
Before you forget how to play
Return once more to Greenway

Though her favorite song suggests
She's "Just A Girl" -well, I know best
She's so much more and should know better
And if a world of girls would meet down on Scott and Camden Street
They'd get her to lead 'em 'round
And the town that she'd show's such a pretty place
When seen through innocent eyes
Though I think she knows how to hide her face
She sees evil and smiles
At least she tries...
She tries...

Shelby tries...
Before you forget how to play
Return once more to Greenway
