Lyrics

1.) WHEN I FIRST MET THE GIRL, SHE WAS FINE AS SHE COULD BE,

YOU KNOW HER WALK, HER TALK, HER CLASSY, CLASSY STYLE,

WAS STRICKLY HIGH SOCIETY;

SHE STARTED LIVING THE LIFE IN THE JET STREAM,

COULDN'T TELL REALITY FROM A BAD DREAM;

YOU KNOW SHE JUMPED ON THE CRACK, AND COULDN'T JUMP BACK,

SHE RODE THAT WHITE WITCH, STRAIGHT TO THE EXTREME



BRIDGE:

YOU KNOW SHE, CRACKED UP!, SHE RAN OUT OF TIME,

SHE JUST, CRACKED UP!, SHE DID TOO MANY LINES,

THE GIRL JUST, CRACKED UP, SHE COULDN'T READ THE SIGNS,

SHE JUST CRACKED UP, AND LOST HER MIND;



2.) SHE HAD A LOT OF PRETTY BOYS, THAT USED TO KEEP HER COMPANY,

THEY USED TO BUY HER PRETTY CLOTHES, AND CANDY FOR HE NOSE, SHE LIVED A FAIRY TALE LIFE FOR FREE,

BUT THE HIGH PRICED ROCK, CAUSED MAXIMUM SHOCK, TO HER MIND, HER BODY AND HER SOUL,

SHE JUMPED ON THE CRACK, AND COULDN'T JUMP BACK, AND THEY LEFT HER, WHEN THE ROCK TOOK CONTROL; GO TO BRIDGE





3.) YOU KNOW I SAW HER JUST THE OTHER DAY, SHE USED TO BE SUCH A LOOKER,

SHE WAS HEADED FOR THE ROCKHOUSE WITH HER HARD EARNED PAY, MONEY MADE FROM BEING A HOOKER;

FROM HERO TO ZERO IN NOTHING FLAT, THE WHITE WITCH HAD MADE HER BLIND,

YOU KNOW SHE JUMPED ON THE CRACK, AND NEVER JUMPED BACK,

SHE LOST HER BEAUTY, THEN SHE LOST HER MIND; GO TO BRIDGE
