Once upon a time you used to walk the streets all night
Cleaning up with lonely souls paying for good times
You got a little greedy taking from the top
The boss found out and tracked you down and ruined such a pretty face
Battery acid, baby, don't you cry
I just can't stand it when you make that face
Your life was a gamble and you lost your biggest hand
Now you wear a mask, stay shrouded in shame
The basement of a crackhouse is the only place you'll work
Taking on the poor souls too high to even tell
Keep the lights down low, babe, you're better off that way
Acid burns, lingerie, the hottest mess in Detroit city
