lyrics

15 dollars, pack of smokes and a lighter
in her satin Crown Royal bag
These things they turn her on
Making her money from the punks and the junkies
try to keeping things just her way
She wakes under the sun

New day, new way, alligator sweater
Trading for some treats in the alley
This roller coaster has been riding long
But here comes the night, you’re feeling all-right
you got your bag of money and your cocaine.
That cold sucka Lonnie better have your money

She left it all for L.A. Make up the plan day by day.
Confusion of passion, lost it all. Listed as listless and bound to fall

We’re feeling all-right, I knew we would be
But desperate hard times seem to plague old Lonnie
“Hey there baby where you wanna go?
Let’s roll things down to my bungalow.”

A tisket a tasket your money’s gone
Those days when you played have been dead so long
Lonnie’s got a gat, but you’ve got a bat
And he’s got your bag of money and your cocaine
You think you shouldn’t do it, you probably shouldn’t do it, But you’re gonna do it anyway.
