another night, another day

i drink a cocktail of moonlight

drown my sorrows in the midnight rain

and the sun rises 

on my slumbering form

somehow i'm home in my flea-ridden bed

as i wake from my drunken stupor

my head is fuzzy as always

there's a new scent lingering on me

and the bed is as lonely as ever 

to make it all go back away

another night of debauchery it is

so as usual i pretend

that i am a woman confident

in my sex appeal

even as the paint flakes 

and neon flashes on rain puddling in potholes

i've got to find another man tonight 

so i can scrape up enough money 

to at least pay some of the bills

though, you know

i thought that 

if i could just get good grades

then i would do just fine

maybe even go far

but here i am

my only asset being my body

so pour me another shot of starry tears

and i'll leave with another man

and that'll be all for the night

selling my own soul

and living in the shadows to survive 

ain't easy at all

but this nightlife's crazy

there's nothing left but continuing on and on
