She climbed up to the roof n' she looked down
|
She pictured her body splattered all over the ground
|
Her daddy'd done her harm, so she stuck a needle in her arm
|
-guess I just lost my degenerate girl
|
|
Few years back she went out to L.A.
|
Turning petty tricks to get her pay
|
But the streets are full O' sleaze
|
So she got a brand new disease
|
-Guess I just lost my degenerate girl
|
|
Everybody knows that she's messed up - oh yeah
|
But they can't do a thing for her
|
Everybody knows that she's fucked up - oh yeah
|
But I can't do a thing for her
|
|
Betty had dreams that she could go real far
|
She moved to the hills to make it as a movie star
|
But the only screen time she got
|
Was starring with a money shot
|
- I guess I just lost my degenerate girl
|
|
She jumped off that roof in her wedding dress
|
Next days footnote in the back o' the press
|
But there's one thing you should know
|
she's at peace six feet below
|
|
I guess I just lost my degenerate girl
|
