Betty

Betty found the city
Now the city's found betty in a hole
With a tattoo around her ankle
And a tiny little jackal in her soul
They wrapped her up and put her in a hole
Yeah they put her in a hole
Wrapped her and put her in a hole
Yeah they put her in a hole
It was six in the morning
When i saw her shaking hands with a ghost
Trying to rub the cracks from her face
As a new day broke
They wrapped her up and put her in a hole
Yeah they put her in a hole
Wrapped her and put her in a hole
Yeah they put her in a hole
Some day, you'll be rid of this weight
She takes a foreigner's kiss,
And wipes it from her cold, cold lips
She takes a foreigner's kiss,
And wipes it from her cold, cold lips
Sitting on a park bench, waiting for the neon to glow
Tracing little pictures in the air
'cause her boat don't row
They wrapped her up and put her in a hole
Yeah they put her in a hole
Wrapped her and put her in a hole
Yeah they put her in a hole
Some day, you'll be rid of this weight
She takes a foreigner's kiss,
And wipes it from her cold, cold lips
She takes a foreigner's kiss,
And wipes it from her cold, cold lips
Life ain't what it seems,
When you chase the tail of a dream
As she, she rides around
On a carousel
She, she rides around
On a carousel
