Scarlett Street

Breaking your fall, girl's got cocaine eyes Carrying the burden, for somebody else's crimes Back doors broken, she got the front locked Down on her knees, with her pistol cocked Windows half frozen, these winters been cold Twenty eight going down, a hundred years old Strangers in the past way, fevers in the night Baby's got pains, it's taken her appetite Down on Scarlett Street It's nighttime everyday Down on Scarlett Street They take your soul away Down on Scarlett Street You know they gonna make you pay Burying the secrets, that's stealing her heart Digging up memories, that tears her apart Undressed in the moonlight, I'm lost there inside Smell like summer rain in paradise It's just flesh and blood, or so they say It feels like fire burning, as she takes up her pay Streets are angry, this city don't sleep It's closing time, down on Scarlett Street Down on Scarlett Street It's nighttime everyday Down on Scarlett Street They take your soul away Down on Scarlett Street You know they gonna make you pay Down on Scarlett Street It's nighttime everyday Down on Scarlett Street They take your soul away
