To shed their tawdry lustre on the scene
These new heels are killing me
My second pack of cigarettes
It's a slow night but there's
Here comes John from his other life
He may be driving to his wife
But he'll slow down take a look
I've learned to read them
And it's already half past ten
But they'll be back again
Headlights in the rainy street
I check, make sure it's not the heat
I wink, I smile, I wave my hand
He stops and seems to understand
The small transaction we must make
I tell him that my heart will break
If he's not a generous man
They say the first is the hardest trick
And after that it's just a matter of logic
They have the money I have the time
Being pretty's my only crime
You ask what future do I see
I say it's really up to me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
One more night I'll just have
A friend of mine he wound up dead
No next of kin no fixed abode
An other victim on this road
The police just carted him away
But someone took his place next day
He was home by thanksgiving
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
One more night I'll just have to take
And no it's just not in my plan
For someone to care who I am
It's the business of love,
C'mon, don't leave me lonely,
It'll be the sweetest five minutes
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
One more night I'll just have to take
