Nickel
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
She did it in a day to day way
Said free smiles come if you pay
Holes in her arm like an L.A. freeway
Looking like heaven
Sky was falling down
And out
Who knew she'd lose
Every gambler gets the blues
Nighttime calling, moonlight falling
Where the alley cats are brawling
She's snow balling again
She did it in a need to need way
Said redemption comes if you pray
Holes in her soul where the pushes pulled away
Looking like heaven
Sky was falling down
And out
Who knew she'd lose
Every gambler gets the blues
Nighttime calling, moonlight falling
Where the alley cats are sniffing
She's tripping again
What would your mother say
Life is a long strange trip
Don't trip it away
What would your father say
Leave him out of this
He never owned me
She did it in a need to need way
Said redemption comes if you pray
Holes in her soul where the pushers pulled away
Looking like heaven
Sky was fallen down
And out
Who knew she'd lose
Every gambler gets the blues
Nighttime calling, moonlight falling
Where the alley cats lie
She has died
What would your mother say
Life is a long strange trip
Don't trip it away
What would your father say
Leave him out of this
He never owned me
Never owned me...
