INNER CITY STORIES
She just can’t take it, her heart is breaking
She cannot simply fake it
And continue to take it
Her love is badly shaken
Her precious lifetime is wasting
She’s rollin’, she’s smokin’
Her life slowly overdosing
She’s trying to hold on but the handle is broken
Nobody hears the soft words she’s spoken
Like a baby bird fallen in the dirt
No one sees how badly she’s been hurt
She’s tryin’ to ease the pain
‘Cause now her story has gotten fame
And it’s so sad, it’s such a shame
She says she’ll never feel the same
Quick! She’s going insane
Quick! She's losing her brains
She wonders who’s to blame
But just keeps playing the game
She sits on the throne yet still remains
Under a dark cloud of feeling called pain
Holding her head up to the rain
Never ceasing to wonder
Never ceasing to pray
