City creatures Words by Julie Hamel Music by Jim Best © Copyright by Julie Hamel & Jim Best Joe had no shame His soul sold to fame Looking around for a prey Nothing to give or to say Sue was her name Loving was her game Sucking them dry in a day Taking their hearts out to play Back Street corner creatures Betting life Life is cheap City lights are the rivers Drowning them in the heat Sue took a john And Joe lost a fight No hope no love, all is gone Turning away from the sight No one can see you at night (2x) She had a dog And he had a plan They would get out of the fog They would belong to a clan Spiked hair and chains Sleeping inside trains Hitching a ride out of town Not to be seen or be found Back street corner creatures Betting life Life is cheap City lights are the rivers Drowning them in the heat. Life in the dark Is like a dying poem With only the dog left to bark And no one to give him a bone When will the children come home (2x)
