1983
She had turned 15
She ran away from home to see the dream
On her second night
She met a man who had nothing to hide
But turned her around to work the streets at night
Introspected, infected
Self-conscious and projected
No tomorrow, no today
Can there be a better way?
She's been a**aulted twice
Once by a stranger and once by the Vice
She's probably lucky that she's still alive
She's got a girlfriend
Who got her hooked on h**n
She quits every week but then makes the same mistake again
I saw her just last week
Down on 6th and Market Street
It was something that I did not want to see
She's one step away
From ending up this way
If it's good enough for you it's good enough for me
Introspected, infected
Self-conscious and projected
No tomorrow, no today
Can there be a better way?
