Veronica's Veil Songtext / Lyric

she threw away her vile past
to find along a better path
she went to The Gap to buy a new dress
and dyed her hair a jet black color
she moved downtown looking for work
met Leroy, a real bad lot
she'd given up school when she was fourteen
and took a dirty job on a corner of St-Catherine
whenever life is strange
it's always time to change
then she realized she can look at herself again
she sees mom and dad no more
she always thinks of them
one day, she hopes, her parents may forgive
'cause she slammed the door back in '94
whenever life is strange
it's always time to change
