Lyrics
Altar Girl
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 was shakin’ her hips
And I biting my lip
Why don’t you have yourself a drink?
Well I guess that gives me just a little bit more time to think
Don’t take my name, don’t take my place
Little girl said she’s scared to lose her faith
Don’t take my name, don’t take my place
Little girl said she’s scared to lose her face
She had eyes that cut like a razorblade
Books and bibles read but they never save
Little girl work your hands down like a slave
She said don’t take my name, don’t take my place
Don’t take my name, don’t take my place
Little girl said she’s scared to lose her faith
Don’t take my name, don’t take my place
Little girl said she’s scared to lose her face
My little altar girl I wait for you tonight
When I sit alone you know I pray right by your side
