White lips pale face, breath ing in snow flakes.
Burnt lungs, sour taste.
Light’s gone, day’s end.
Strug gl ing to pay rent.
Long nights, strange men.
And they say she’s in the Class A team.
Stuck in her day dream.
Been this way since (E)eight een, but late ly her (Bm7)face seems slow ly sink ing, wast ing, crum bl ing like pas tries.
And they scream.
The worst things in life come free to us.
’Cause we’re (Dmaj7)just un der the up per hand

And she don’t wan na go out side to night.
And in a (Dmaj7)pipe she flies to the Moth er land.
Or sells love to an oth er man.
It’s too cold out side
for an gels to fly.
For an gels to fly.
Ripped gloves, rain coat, tried to swim, stay float.
Dry house, wet clothes.
Loose change, bank notes.
Wear y eyed, dry pay throat.
Call girl, no phone.
