Wild Orphan |
You’re standing out in the corridor |
Of the worst hotel that you’ve ever dreamed |
A frayed linoleum paradise |
Where you walk on cash and you calloused heels and |
Oh, to count the cost of no returning |
No, when innocence is lost |
You just keep turning wild |
My wild orphan child |
My orphan child |
My orphan wild in the wilderness |
And you look a little like Jodie Foster |
12 years old but your eyes are 35 |
And that’s no joking matter |
You’ve got no body hair and nobody cares |
But no, you know it all |
I can’t deny it |
Cute, with razor blade in pocket |
Well, I don’t buy it |
And so when I see you smile |
It only makes me want to cry |
My wild orphan child |
My orphan wild in the world |
I saw you, babe, at the Mirabelle |
Feeding oysters from the half shell |
Oh, but you’re such a busy girl |
You say |
I know where the real money is found |
Inside of a hopelessness and yearning |
Yes, and cold is what to be |
To touch the burning flame I see |
