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...
