On the Dark Streets Below Lyrics

Slow down, little girl You've lost your way in this world Slow down and start again You'll feel much better in the end
Annie's always been a live one Says the matroness She never cries, she never lets her sorrows Get the best of her
She makes a kind of music Of the buttons popping off her dress She knows that's just the way it goes On the dark streets below
Adelle came from a decent town Scraped by for first month's rent Guessed with her brain She could find a job in management
She showed promise in algebra But now her talent's spent On other people's dough On the dark streets below
So get up, kid, you're [Incomprehensible] I never knew a time when you wouldn't take a bet
Slow down, little girl You've lost your way in this world Slow down, start again You'll feel much better in the end
August from the old country Came over on a ship It was like a floating oil drum Had barely made the trip
She knew that she'd been screwed As soon she'd pulled up on the spit Now she knows [Incomprehensible] The dark streets below
These folks got nowhere left to go But the dark streets below
The dark streets below The dark streets below The dark streets below The dark streets below
