They just call me
A brokenhearted woman
Living a life
Of toil and shame
I don't remember
Where I came from
But I ended here
Just the same


Memories of life
Lived in ease
Echo in my
Troubled mind
Images of glitter
Gold and fame
Flitter and wave
Like a moth to a flame


I Jitter and twitch
When I've gone without
Withdrawl is my poison
I can do without
Ravings of lunacy
Brought into the light
Ravage my now
Fragile mind


Death is my enemy
No, yes, my constant friend
Sure, it ain't been easy
Living on the street
But I have survived
These many years
Just been so alone
I no longer feel my tears


Burning with chills
Fever chase my strength
I can hear the devil
Chasing through my veins
Opium my god
I bow to every day
Chasing away
Who I think I am


A quarter if you please
A nickel you can spare
Just a little something
Mister if you dare
Go ahead and laugh
Yeah, just walk on by
You don't really care
If I live or die


I stumble and I weave
When I take my leave
Never looking back
To see how I'm perceived
No notion of repentance
No ideas how to change
That's why I've become
A woman of shame


Ignored by all
Seen by none
Hunger is my
Driving need
Tramp or bum
What have I become
That you all
Ignore my need
