Flaming red hair
sun spots all over,
a natural beauty
You should be
on the cover of Elle!

Emma, what can i say?
Your story so sad
and your live so wrecked
Homeless in NYC...
Homeless in NYC...

[break]

High on crack
Lost your child
Lover for money
Far from home
All for the drug

Emma, what can i do?
The tears in your eyes
Reflection of sorrow
Homeless in NYC...
Homeless in NYC...

[break]

I can't find the words,
to say what i feel
when i see that picture
it seems so unreal
that you're without a home
no where to go,
And i just sit here
with a coffee in my hand
nothing wrong and
cosy and warm
with my wife and kids
you're out on the street,..
perhaps freezing to death now
