The gutter lady sings a serenade
Of the convenience and well being
Of not having it made

The suits and pretty faces walk on by
Dirt will tell the truth and gold may lie

Did i ever tell you 'bout you hair
It makes you look real easy
Cheap and in despair

Saw you in a dream i had last night
You were throwing punches in a fire fight

Will you excuse me - you really do amuse me
Funny little thing you're out of sight

You will linger - with your dirty little fingers
You'll be picking up the pieces of your life

Red lights - shines upon you clear and bright
The rope around your neck is getting tight

Red lights - try and try and try you might
You're a long lost cause and i'm alright

Will you excuse me - you really do amuse me
Funny little thing you're out of sight

You will linger - with your dirty little fingers
You'll be picking up the pieces of your life

Red lights - shines upon you clear and bright
The rope around your neck is getting tight

Red lights - try and try and try you might
You're a long lost cause and i'm alright
