Poor Girl

You sat at home, the windows tinted black
It hits you hard and you cried so long
Life turned and wandered, never to come back again
Takes what she gives, you don't feel sorry for her

When you fell out of the Starlight Inn
You were too hurt to walk, too bad to begin
I looked at the sign but I couldnt feel sad for you
Takes what she gives, you don't cry when you kiss her

Poor little girl ran away from home
I try to explain why she won't say a thing
Sad, sad thing, I'm so far away now
How can I say why she won't talk at all

She holds the deck of cards, she wants to be alone
I'll be very ill and I tried waking up, now I want to be alone
When you ran out of Pete's Hotel you didn't look so good
And you didn't feel so well, hold me tight, but I couldn't get it right
Takes what she gives you

Poor little girl
She holds a deck of cards, she wants to be alone
She still drinks in the dark, the radio is left on late
She saw a madman fight and break it all
'Cause he hated himself and she felt better off
'Cause she was only drunk
