lyrics

Her father left her mother and her mother left her lying in the street.
Her brother and her sister got a roof but no home they can sleep.
When the cigarette's are gone and the bottles lie broken in the street.
You know that it ain’t easy when you’re treated like a piece of meat.

I know that you’re hanging on, I can see blue skies in your thoughts.
The ruffled ruffles in your sleeves tell me differently.

You’re killing two birds with the stone that is chained down at your feet.
One of them’s the devil and your cold heart is feeling the heat.
Darling, you’re an orphan and you’re Kansas farmhouse is beat.
Blowing, that dust in the wind covered up the whole damn street.

I know that you’re hanging on, I can see blue skies in your thoughts.
The ruffled ruffles in your sleeves tell me differently.
