Midnight Starlet

She came in with a "come-and-get-me" grin

She swallowed all her sins whole and kept them

Within her smile, was a cry, a crave for pity

She fled from the wilderness, and learned to fuck the city

Lights, sounds, desperate creatures in the jungle, jungle

Lights, sounds, desperate creatures in the jungle, jungle

Boys and girls

Nestled in the strangling arms of a mother

A child masked from what's outside

You won't bleed the love from your daughter

Let her be free, let her be

She lives imprisoned by her emotions

Latched onto her neck, they feed

You won't bleed the love from your daughter

Let her be free, let her be

I keep my expectations buried beneath the floorboards

With her remains

Lights, sounds, desperate creatures in the jungle, jungle

Lights, sounds, desperate creatures in the jungle, jungle

Boys and girls

Nestled in the strangling arms of a mother

A child masked from what's outside

You won't bleed the love from your daughter

Let her be free, let her be

She lives imprisoned by her emotions

Latched onto her neck, they feed

You won't bleed the love from your daughter

Let her be free, let her be, free

Let her be, free

I don't think I'll notice you, for long

For long

Nestled in the strangling arms of a mother

A child masked from what's outside

You won't bleed the love from your daughter

Let her be free, let her be

She lives imprisoned by her emotions

Latched onto her neck, they feed

You won't bleed the love from your daughter

Let her be free, let her be, free

Let her be, free

Let her be
