She's an Extraordinary girl
In an ordinary world
And she cant seem to get away

He lacks the courage in his mind
Like a child left behind
Like a pet left in the rain

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying


She sees the mirror of herself
And image she wants to sell
To anyone willing to buy

He steals the image in her kiss
From her hearts apocalypse
From the one called whatsername

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
She gets so sick of crying

She's all alone again
Wiping the tears from her eyes
Some days he feels like dying
Some days he's not worth trying
Now that they're both up on it
She gets so sick of crying

She's an Extraordinary girl
an Extraordinary girl
an Extraordinary girl
an Extraordinary girl
American Idiot

Song Facts - Show All?
The unusual percussion instruments in the song's intro (bongo drums in particular), combined with the electric sitar that joins it eight measures later, give the song a Middle Eastern feel until a standard drum kit and electric guitar take over where the sitar and bongos leave off. This introductory segment is evocative of The Beatles' music circa 1966, when John Lennon and Paul McCartney introduced increasingly exotic instruments into the repertoire of rock.

Vash 		when the song starts you expect something different but it's sorta generic green day, which i'm cool with, but i think they could have done a bit better with this track. still, very catchy and sorta 60s malt-shop-ish in the verses. dig it.
