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
