The gutter lady sings a serenade
Of the convenience and wellbeing
Of not having it made
The suits and pretty faces walk on by
Dirt will tell the truth and gold may lie
Did I ever tell you 'bout your hair
It makes you look real easy
Cheap and in despair
Saw you in a dream I had last night
You were throwing punches in a fire fight
Will you excuse me - you really do amuse me
Funny little thing, you're out of sight
You will linger - with your dirty little fingers
You'll be picking up the pieces of your life
Red lights - shines upon you clear and bright
The rope around your neck is getting tight
Red lights - try and try and try you might
You're a long lost cause and I'm all right
Will you excuse me - you really do amuse me
Funny little thing, you're out of sight
You will linger - with your dirty little fingers
You'll be picking up the pieces of your life
Red lights - shines upon you clear and bright
The rope around your neck is getting tight
Red lights - try and try and try you might
You're a long lost cause and I'm all right
