Lyrics

    She's got her eyes open wide
    she's got the dirt and spit of the world
    she's got her mouth on the metal
    the lips of a scared little girl
    
    I've got an angel in the lobby
    he's waiting to put me in line
    but I won't ask forgiveness
    for my faith has gone dry
    
    She's got her Christian prescriptures
    and death has crawled in her ear
    like elevator music of songs
    that she shouldn't hear
    
    1...2...3 it spins around
    4...5...6 we all lay down
    some do it fast
    some do it better in smaller amounts.
