Song lyrics, for no particular reason



She dances downtown four nights a week
So the marks know where to come
She won’t take money for being a freak
But she don’t mind if you’re randy
She says junk’s for money and punks for fun
But if she kiss you gently on the cheek
Say goodbye to Penny Candy

Cause she don’t give credit and don’t take lies
She don’t give a crap for alibis
She barely sleeps and she never cries
And she never bothers to deny
Why they call her Penny Candy

She says she’s forgot her other name
And anyway, they’re all the same
A pinch of pretty and a dash of shame
And the bad dream they call home

She says I rode my nightmare down the day
And I cut my hair and my soul away
And I can show you how to do it,
there’s a map upon my skin
But I warn you it’s a one way street
When you let Penny Candy in

Salvation slinger, if you’re still inclined
Say a prayer for Penny Candy
Any god you fancy
She don’t mind
She says none of 'em listen
and neither do I
But if you come with me
I will teach you how to fly

Hmm. Find some time to sing it to me and I'll try to sing it back with more tune?
