Story behind the song
I live near the red-light disctrict of my hometown. Sometimes you see things you don't really care to see ...
Lyrics
She checks her looks
in the rearview-mirrors
of the cars parked in line
rain or shine day or night
she’ll be standing at the corners
of the street
And she can tell
by the sound of an engine
if that car’s gonna stop
and it takes just one minute
to name her price
and tell the driver where to go
But how long can she go on like this?
living her life on the streets?
selling her body cheaply
to ev’ry lowdown creep
She’s always wearing long sleeve T-shirts
to hide the needle-marks
she has to put on heavy make up
to hide the sores, the bruises and the scars
But underneath the neon-lights
where red is grey and yellow white
nothing seems to matter anymore
ev’ry day that passes brings her
closer to that dark abyss
‘cause she’s been living on borrowed time
