Your awfully overdressed for this side of town


rise and shine butterfly
walk into the light
and show that your beauty fades
to all of us who can see
just like the person you pretend to be
in sleezy downtown places
where they pay you by the hour
just to spit in their faces

" oh isnt it a tragedy
thought were some kind of celebrity
oh oh oh and did you hate it
when he said to you
you only look good when im enebriated"

so cinderella you broke your glass slipper
and got caught pulling down the zipper
of the newest clientel
you run the block , and they all buy what youve got to sell
but they dont love you ,
they play you like a fiddle
saying hey diddle diddle , got your cat nip right here
and dont the words seem to seer
your already torn sense of self esteem
but can you see how bright the makeup makes you gleam
its just a mask to you
and what they ask of you
leaves you ready to sell it all for a piece of that mean green

"isnt a tragedy
thought you were a celebrity
well honey , your only good for five minutes at a time
they know they can get away
cause you accept their nickels and their dimes
oh but darling feeling sorry isnt a crime
and i know that your down and out
and i know you know all about
the hands that will pull you out
but you think your beautiful
yeah your a teenage dreem
but honey wake up and realize
your only just a street corner queen
and did the words sting
and di you hate it
when he told you, your not so hot
when hes not enebriated"

snow white yeah you put up a good fight
you drove all the dwarves plum crazy
and no you didnt care
that they were drunk their visions hazy
workin night and dawn
but you are just a pawn
working for the forest pimp
istn it just a little shady

oh baby the apple wasnt what  put you to sleep
and baby i know so well, your not in danger your just waiting
but prince charming isnt gonna come , well you were only dreaming
you could have had it all
but you choose to fall
into the lifestyle
of all the other gals
that own the night
and your only good for five minutes at a time

" isnt it a tragedy
when you had everything
oh baby stick your leg out just  a little farther
try to haggle just a little harder
dont get in the car for less than you can pay the bills on time
and is it just a shame
somebody bless her heart
well she choose , living in the dark
and did it hurt you bad
wen he turned you down
sighting im just not intrested, and baby what your selling
im not in the mood for buying
well keep trying now
what he said to you ,  did you hate it
your not hot, cause im not enebriated"

well all the good girls go , to heaven
but where will you go, when noones buyin
they keep turning you down, but you keep sellin
out, on the street, with those heels on your feet
and do they make you seem
higher than the drugs your taking
give it up and just quit faking
get your stop watch out , they got five minutes
well i hope to god that they can finish
theyre running out of dimes
and your only good for fiv minutes at a time
what a crime what i crime , i cant believe i said it

" aint it a tragedy
they think your so boring
so you hide behind your make up and your heels
well your feet are hurting, can barely hold the steering wheel
while you ride while you ride
and now theyre out of money, and your out of time
well it was the worst goodbye
and tell me did you hate him for it
he said , your not hot when im not enebriated"

heart attack in high heels
with heart that doesnt feel
anything but a rush from cocain
and youve spiraled way too far down
and your awfully overdressed for this side of town
