Little John’s got his head on right
|
He does a bang up business
|
In the middle of the night
|
And he sits by the radio,
|
Ain’t givin nothin' away, oh no
|
And the calls come in on the CB
|
And little John, he’s gonna send you what you need
|
Send you a little somethin'
|
To get you through the day
|
Ooh to get you through the day
|
Little Maria’s in deep, can’t stop
|
She been savin up her money for a beauty shop
|
She been countin' the days and the years
|
With a mark on the wall, oh yeah
|
And she came out here all fresh and young
|
Said she’d get out of the game before the damage got done
|
And little John he just laughed, now he’s heard it all
|
Yes he’s really heard it all
|
It’s a lonely life
|
Wrapped up in the fingers of the night
|
Snapped up in the net so tight
|
You’re wonderin' why you came,
|
Why you came
|
Yes it’s a lonely life,
|
All alone on the derelict streets
|
You crawl home
|
When you’re dead on your feet
|
You’ll never leave the game
|
No, you’ll never get out of the game
|
Oh no no
|
It’s a lonely life
|
Wrapped up in the fingers of the night
|
Snapped up in the net so tight
|
You’re wonderin' why you came,
|
Why you came
|
Yes it’s a lonely life,
|
All alone on the derelict streets
|
You crawl home
|
When you’re dead on your feet
|
You’ll never leave the game
|
No, you’ll never get out of the game
|
Oh no no
|
And there ain’t no road in sight that’s goin' home
|
You got little John with his bike
|
And girl you’re all his own
|
And you think you’re marking
|
Time 'til something comes along
|
But you’re not the first little princess baby,
|
To find that you were wrong
|
And it’s a lonely life
|
Wrapped up in the fingers of the night
|
Snapped up in the net so tight
|
You’re wonderin' why you came,
|
Why you came
|
Yes it’s a lonely life,
|
All alone on the derelict streets
|
You crawl home when you’re dead on your feet
|
You’ll never leave the game
|
No, you’ll never get out of the game
|
Baby it’s lonely life
|
It’s such a lonely life
|
And you’ll never get out,
|
No you’ll never walk out of the game |
