Louisiana Whore
There was a girl just like you or me
From the city of New Orleans
Moved to LA, it had been her dream
Wanted to make it on the movie scene
When she got there, she was overwhelmed
Couldn't see it as a mortal realm
She had her doubts, but she knew full well
It was too late, no going back now
But it was all too much
She couldn't fight the fear
And so she turned to drugs
You're gonna make it here
Flashing lights confusing her brain
Golden state driving her insane
The good shit shooting into her veins
She just wanted people to remember her name
One year later she was feeling blue
Waiting tables in the afternoon
Was getting tired of serving food
And so she did what she swore never to
He promised her it was a kind of art
You got the looks, girl, when can you start
And so she dutifully played her part
Took her reward, and it all went dark
But it was never enough
She only wanted more
She saw what she'd become
Louisiana Whore
Flashing lights confusing her brain
Golden state driving her insane
The good shit shooting into her veins
She just wanted people to remember her name
The year was 1979
She was alright she was doing fine
Did what she had to to earn a dime
For a bump or a hit or a line
But then her parents came and saw
What she was doing and doing it for
Her mother cried, her father swore
You ain't my little girl no more
And that was all too much
She was who she despised
She took a needle shot up
Wrote on the wall
Here lies
Flashing lights confusing her brain
Golden state driving her insane
The good shit shooting into her veins
She just wanted people to remember her name
From the city of New Orleans
Moved to LA, it had been her dream
Wanted to make it on the movie scene
When she got there, she was overwhelmed
Couldn't see it as a mortal realm
She had her doubts, but she knew full well
It was too late, no going back now
But it was all too much
She couldn't fight the fear
And so she turned to drugs
You're gonna make it here
Flashing lights confusing her brain
Golden state driving her insane
The good shit shooting into her veins
She just wanted people to remember her name
One year later she was feeling blue
Waiting tables in the afternoon
Was getting tired of serving food
And so she did what she swore never to
He promised her it was a kind of art
You got the looks, girl, when can you start
And so she dutifully played her part
Took her reward, and it all went dark
But it was never enough
She only wanted more
She saw what she'd become
Louisiana Whore
Flashing lights confusing her brain
Golden state driving her insane
The good shit shooting into her veins
She just wanted people to remember her name
The year was 1979

Flashing lights confusing her brain
Golden state driving her insane
The good shit shooting into her veins
She just wanted people to remember her name
