Are you lost, little girl?
Where’s your mama? Good grief

Skin thick as bricks

All the wolves lick your cuts clad in Prada
G#m
With white grins, and tight grips
E
Blood oaths and loose lips

Smokin’ stardust, mmm

G#m
Act like some pilgrims
E
Sing like some psalmists
Kiss like it’s harmless
C#
I hope you listen
There are too many demons
So girl, don’t you give in
G#m
To all of the voices around you saying you can spread your wings
E C#
Only if you spread those legs first, huh
That’s the bread and butter of this place

G#m
Bitches with butter knives
E
At the ready to spread the word to save their pretty face
C#
So let these words be your saving grace

There’s a much longer trail to blaze
And it’s ours
