The Tragically Hip - She Didn't Know Lyrics

Yeah, oh yeah

Born a queen up on her side, and she felt it too
There's a lot they can see when there ain't nothing to do
She got down on her knees and then dug herself out
Slipping to the east side and prancing about

Learn a language, baby, it's that kind of place
Low card is hunger and high card is taste
And trouble is small change when daddy's around
You know that she learned a lesson when she happened down

She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know, no, no, no

One eye on the table, one eye on the floor
She got beat for her pride with her back to the door
She'd be digging the spotlight and call it her own
But you know it's over when everyone's gone

She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know, no, well, how could she know?

Stealing seconds together, the day is the night
You can fly your own colors as long as they're right
The trigger invites you and so do the boys
But if there ain't no one listening, well, there ain't no noise

She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know, no

She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know (the barrel was loaded)
She didn't know, no
She didn't know
She didn't know
