The streets are wet
The lights have yet
To shed their tawdry lustre on the scene
My skirts too short
My tights have run
These new heels are killing me
My second pack of cigarettes
Its a slow night but theres time yet
Here comes john from his other life
He may be driving to his wife
But hell slow down take a look
Ive learned to read them just like books
And its already half past ten
But theyll be back again
Headlights in the rainy street
I check, make sure its 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 hes not a generous man
I step into his van
The say the first is the hardest trick
After that its just a matter of logic
They have the money I have the time
Being prettys my only crime
You ask what future do I see
I say its really up to me
I dont need forgiving
Im just making a living
Dont judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Dont judge me
One more night Ill just have to take my chances
And tomorrow well see
A friend of mine he wound up dead
His dress was stained the colour red
No next of kin no fixed abode
Another victim on this road
The police just carted him away
But someone took his place next day
He was home by thanksgiving
But not with the living
Dont judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Dont judge me
One more night Ill just have to take my chances
And no its just not in my plan
For someone to care who I am
Im walking the streets for money
Its the business of love, hey honey
Cmon, dont leave me lonely, dont leave me sad
Itll be the sweetest five minutes you ever had
Dont judge me
You could be me in another life
In another set of circumstances
Dont judge me
One more night Ill just have to take my chances
And tomorrow well see
