A girl saved me
In a previous life
An escapee from boggo road
She hid in the vice
Of the city lights
Where she wouldn\'t be exposed
She was a tough cookie
Compared to her I had little sin
But we got on
Both on fire
Dartboards for the pin
I worked the days
She worked the nights
Our lifestyle was expensive
I could hardly fight
My Innocence was my might
Without it I was defenceless
An Italian grocer
Was counting a large wad of cash
She gave me a look
That said
Grab it an make a dash
I ignored her and bought some grapes
The grapes were sweet but not to her taste
He was ready for a punk like me
I read it in his eyes
He would have broken my legs
If I was lucky
And flicked me like a flee
I think back on my past
The times I was dead
She saved me once
I am grateful that
I never lost my head.
