Pretty Mess

I can't take you home with me
Too bad 'cuz it's so hard to be
In love with no place to go
You've got no home except this place you come

Surviving selling drugs doesn't seem so fun
But you're still so carefree
In the cold dark night we can hide
On the fire escape while the junkies inside

Worry about their next fix
Chewing gum and holding hands
My friends would never understand
Why I fell for you

Such a pretty mess, you ripped the dress
The dress you borrowed
Drowning in your sorrows outside the club
In the cold dark night we can hide
On the fire escape while the junkies inside

Worry about their next fix
Chewing gum and holding hands
My friends would never understand
Why I fell for you

Innocent and playful, you remind me
Of a little child
And all I ask is that you, you find me
Once in a while
Once in a while
