NASTY LITTLE GIRL

More GEM-style Blues.

NASTY LITTLE GIRL

Nasty little girl, standing on the corner
Up against the light, up against the night
Nasty little world weighing on your shoulder
Turning tricks again, giving up the fight

Naughty little child, strutting on the corner
Naughty little child, why did you go wild?
Daddy’s little girl! Did he drive you crazy?
Vicious little vamp, innocent and mild

You’re not fooling me, I know who you are
You’re just playing time; you can’t hide your scar
Throw it in his face; let him watch you bleed
Take him down with you, let us watch you feed

Never was a child, running in the stroller
Got to get away, run for yesterday
Always on the run, now you’re getting older
Got to loose control, there’s no time to play

And on nights of frozen rain
Bitter cold and bitter pain
Do you wonder why you came?
Do you wonder at the shame?

And some nights you go insane
Bitterness can be a strain
Do you wonder who’s to blame?
After all we’re all the same!
