On the streets in the city where she knows she can’t fall
Standing in a line every midnight waiting for the soup to roll in
Swapping woolly clothes for a lighter she found in a recycle bin
Her eyes are all bloodshot her finger nails brown
On the streets in the city where she knows she won’t drown
No cell phone to carry no credit card bill
No long days out shopping for wardrobes to fill
No plans for tomorrow just like yesterday
On the streets in the city where she chooses to stay
she walks a million miles every morning picking up old dog ends to smoke
Working up a thirst like an engine quench it with a half drunk bloke
Her armpits are sticky her breath wants a mint
On the streets in the city where she knows every inch
No cell phone to carry no credit card bill
No long days out shopping for wardrobes to fill
No plans for tomorrow just like yesterday
On the streets in the city where she chooses to stay
No cell phone to carry no credit card bill
No long days out shopping for wardrobes to fill
No plans for tomorrow just like yesterday
On the streets in the city where she chooses to stay
