Daughters

Mirrored globes to orbit
That’s the pole you feel
Hooking up your bare legs
Bare knees you use to kneel
Scans you, looks so sweaty
Soaking up the dollars
Seems the walls are watching
Better hide your daughters

Behind the screen of shadows
Little private dance
Escaping from the world outside
The trucks as they rush past
Counting neon flickers
Oh this world, how it’s gone cold
Succumb to numbing splashes
Every one a life untold

Better hide your daughters

Inside your just a lonely boy
You clutch a used-up wish
Staring at that starless sky
That never gives out shit
Sitting on your broken bones
The world has slapped around
Holding on to broken dreams
That ran you out of town

They ran you out of town
That ran you out of town
Better hide your daughters
