Sidewalk Sally

(album: Assault & Battery - 1981)

Late last night I saw you doing the street
Dodging the cops on the beat
It wasn't necessary to know my name
Just to, take me home to play

Sidewalk Sally, crawling down the alley
On her hands and knees
Sidewalk Sally, knows what she's selling
A little taste of apathy

Now the girl with the golden touch
[?] short week, don't cost much
I got the money honey, you got the bun
I'll pay for your time, grab the money and run

Sidewalk Sally, crawling down the alley
On her hands and knees
Sidewalk Sally, knows what she's selling
Apathy

She's on the street again
Out on her path alone again
She can't be late for the devil's son
She looks scared, watch her run

So scared mama look at you run
Run run run, mama look at you run
Yow! So scared mama look at you run
Run run run, mama, look at you run

Sidewalk Sally
Sidewalk Sally

Things were different, in the beginning
There was a future you were winning
But wear and tear, has started to show
The white lady, she won't let you go

Sidewalk Sally, crawling in the alley
On her hands and knees
Sidewalk Sally, she knows what she's selling
She's shortchanged ya, with apathy

Sidewalk Sally
