lyrics

My bed is cold in the morning
The litter keeps blowing inside
An old lady trips and she kicks me awake with a sigh
With a sigh
And the birds start to sing without warning
Their voices are mellow and high
Like they know the fight isn't over until it gets light
It gets light

And I stand in every doorway, I stand alone
Waiting for the man with money to carry me home
Once there were streets of promise, now they are gone
I wear a purple bodice and Gina is my name

And the landlord is throwing the drinkers out
Into the afternoon sun
Their eyes are open their trousers quite often undone, undone
And down the alley the workers
Walk past with their suits of disguise
With a hole in their heart
And a faraway look in their eyes, in their eyes

And I stand in every doorway, I stand alone
Waiting for the man with money to carry me home
Once there were streets of promise, now they are gone
I wear a purple bodice and Gina is my name

Now it's midnight and the bars are all crowded
The drink has made everyone free
Nervously glancing away from the vision of me, of me
And even the greediest nation
Has more to be proud of than greed
Maybe tomorrow will bring me just what I need, what I need

And I stand in every doorway, I stand alone
Waiting for the man with money to carry me home
Once there were streets of promise, now they are gone
I wear a purple bodice and Gina is my name

Gina is my name
