Debi

Song Description

A bit of a play on words, Everybody Knows Debi (in the biblical sense). When she was younger, everyone expected her to go places and be something more. The song is about disappointment, disillusionment and frankly, the life of a young prostitute. Perhaps the greatest irony is in the update treatement and melody of the chorus.

Song Length 4:35 Genre Folk - Alternative, Folk - Contemporary
Tempo Medium Slow (91 - 110) Lead Vocal Female Vocal
Mood Relaxed Subject Pimp, Prostitute, Failure
Language English Era 2000 and later

Lyrics

Debi

Debi?s got the world on her shoulders.
When she?s a little bit older, maybe she?ll be alright
Right now, she?s got a 4 month old daughter
Seems that nobody told her sometimes they cry all night

And she cries ? all night sometimes
And wakes before the sun goes down.

Debi?s got a brand new profession
And it?s a tricky position she finds herself in
From time to time she?ll run into someone
And he won?t know where he knows her from
She?ll say, well aint that a sin

And she lies? all night sometimes
And wakes before the sun goes down

CHORUS
Everybody knows Debi now

Once upon a time she was so fine
That she could bottle up sunshine and sell it to the stars
And everybody said she would make it
Now when she does, she just fakes it
In her mind, she?s so far

When she?s high everything?s alright
At least for a while. At least until the sun goes down.

CHORUS

Never had a chance to be a star.
Never could have been more than she is
Never could have been good as you are.
But she could have been better

Now she sees the world as a yo yo
And she?ll admit that she don?t know what anything is for
They bring you here without your permission
And we all just do the best we can, until we can?t anymore

And she tried? At least until the sun went down.
