New Life

There’s a little girl dancing out on the street You can’t tell if she’s hungry Young man offers her a cigarette All his clothes are soakin’ wet Papers blow by just like her luck He looks so good when he dresses up You want a new life, better than this one It ain’t so fair, just want it different You want a new life, better than this one It ain’t so fair, you just want it different There’s a turquoise house out in the suburbs Clothes hangin’ on the line One just like it burned down last week Right next to mine You want a new life, better than this one It ain’t so fair, just want it different You want a new life, better than this one It ain’t so fair, you just want it different New life New life New life New life That same little girl’s dancing in her living room Ship came in not a minute too soon An old man thinks of her at Union and Main Handin’ out smokes in the pourin’ rain You want a new life, better than this one It ain’t so fair, just want it different You want a new life, better than this one It ain’t so fair, you just want it different New life New life New life New life
