| You sat at home, the windows tinted black
|
| It hits you hard and you cried so long
|
| Life turned and wandered, never to come back again
|
| Takes what she gives, you don’t feel sorry for her
|
| When you fell out of the Starlight Inn
|
| You were too hurt to walk, too bad to begin
|
| I looked at the sign but I couldn’t feel sad for you
|
| Takes what she gives, you don’t cry when you kiss her
|
| Poor little girl ran away from home
|
| I try to explain why she won’t say a thing
|
| Sad, sad thing, I’m so far away now
|
| How can I say why she won’t talk at all
|
| She holds the deck of cards, she wants to be alone
|
| «I'll be very ill and I tried waking up, now I want to be alone»
|
| When you ran out of Pete’s Hotel you didn’t look so good
|
| And you didn’t feel so well, hold me tight, but I couldn’t get it right
|
| Takes what she gives you
|
| Poor little girl
|
| She holds a deck of cards, she wants to be alone
|
| She still drinks in the dark, the radio is left on late
|
| She saw a madman fight and break it all
|
| 'Cause he hated himself and she felt better off
|
| 'Cause she was only drunk |
