Red Light

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
