Lady Of The Night

A Taste Of Things To Come
Lyrics By S.Newman

(1)
in a room half-naked from this unbearable heat
Laying on a bed that many have used to sleep
As the sun's last rays disappear from sight
I look out my window into that urban night
A glow catches my eye like a glinting pearl
Through a broken window I see a broken girl
Upon a broken bed with nothing on at all

(chorus)
My window a view to a different world
a picture of the darker side of it all
filled with the glow of neon lights
people say just a lady of the night

(2)
she has a broken heart, tears down her broken face
In the company of men but never feeling safe
Well we're not so different in our own little way
You see we're both dirty and we are here to stay
I haven't showered for longer than a week
she showers at least three times everyday
Yet to her the dirt will always remain

(chorus)
My window a view to a different world
a picture of the darker side of it all
filled with the glow of neon lights
people say just a lady of the night

(3)
She is dirty in a very different way
The dirt is buried deep within her brain
she can't seem to ever wash it away
no matter how much she trys to scrub
i can only imagine what your plight
to drive you from your distant home
into the dangers of this eastern night

(bridge)
I feel for her even though i don't know her name
she's Sitting on those dirty sheets upon her broken bed
staring back at me through her broken window pain

(chorus)
My window a view to a different world
a picture of the darker side of it all
filled with the glow of neon lights
people say just a lady of the night
