                  THE LOVE SONG OF A PROSTITUTE


                Don't fight with these people,
                Just leave them alone,
                I need you with me, hon,
                Come, please take me home.

                Flush your past down the toilet,
                Present days are so good!
                If you die from a bullet,
                I will kill myself, too.

                Hug me, feel me, then answer:
                Something I haven't got?
                Well, then why did you swear
                That you love me a lot?

                You are all to me -- honest --
                So relax those fists,
                And let's go back to our nest,
                There, now give me a kiss ...
