Lyrics

Sweet little kitten comes from out of town,
She waited for the sun to change her skin.
She walks the Bowery on the low east side,
There?s always someone there to take her in?she?s playing with their heads.

She needs a road cause she wanna keep rollin?
Lyin? in her bed?s like a stone cold coffin,
Tried to cut the noose but the noose kept pullin?
Everybody knows you when you got the swagger.

That cat?s been talkin? loud and out of line,
She?s hanging in the cover of her friends.
She caught a dagger in her back left side,
The money?s always counted in the end?she?s gonna get it,
She?s gonna let them treat her like she doesn?t matter.

Down at this spot called the South Side Southern,
Hangin? with a gang called the Suicide Brothers,
Now she?s talkin? loud but she ain?t sayin? nothin?
Kitten flips the switch, slips away, slips the cover.
I wanna leave the simple lives to the lovers.

Some think,
They?re gonna shake when they,
Feel the shatter?it doesn?t matter.
She?s gonna break,
All torn and battered,
They got her number?she?s got the swagger.
