Little girl little girl
why are you crying
Inside your restless soul
your heart is dying
Little one little one
your soul is purging
Of love and razor blades
your blood is surging
Run away
from the river
to the street
and find yourself
with your face
in the gutter
You're a stray
for the salvation army
There is no place
like home
when you got no
place to go
Little girl little girl
your life is calling
the charlatans and saints
of your abandon
Little one little one
the sky is falling
Your lifeboat
of deception
is now sailing
In the wake
all the way no rhyme
or reason
Your bloodshot eyes
will show your
heart of treason
Little girl little girl
you dirty liar
You're just a junkie
preaching to the choir
Run away
from the river
to the street
and find yourself
with your face
in the gutter
You're a stray
for the salvation army
There is no place
like home
when you got no
place to go
The traces of blood
always follow you home
like the mascara tears
from your getaway
You're walking
with blisters
and running with shears
So unholy
sister of grace
Run away
from the river
to the street
and find yourself
with your face
in the gutter
You're a stray
for the salvation army
There is no place
like home
