Homegirls

On the cold, hard steps
She left me and walked away
Since that day I've known
A lonely road from cradle to grave

They put my pieces up for sale
Never truly understanding
How to love and care
Now grown, I've found my way
A lonely road

I meet my homeboys on railway tracks
All day dancing with fire
Smashing up our past in peace
As the night spits out

A new child, born in mud
From the rotten roots below
Dogs waltz, colours rage
Fish soar under the midday sun
As she fights to save her Dad
Who's falling and crawling, none of it fun
What a lonely road

They put my pieces up for sale
Please, care for me, kiss my name
Love me to shed my past
Push me towards the light

I want to be a woman of worth
Not only my breeding's shadow
But you gave up and left me
Back where you found me
What a lonely road!

I find my homegirls under the bridge
All day dancing with fire
Smashing up our past in peace
As the night spits out

A new child, born in mud
From the rotten roots below
Dogs waltz, colours rage
Fish soar under the midday sun
As he fights to save his Mum
Who's falling and crawling, none of it fun
What a lonely road

On the cold, hard steps
I left her and walked away
She must learn from early on
The lonely road from cradle to grave
