Broken glass in the gutter, baby
Broken dreams out on the street
Broken hearts on every corner, darling
Shattered ground beneath their feet


There's kids dying to be rich
And there's girls dying to be thin
While the rest of us keep drinking
Cause we love the taste of sin

Dirty little secrets
Eat me up inside
Dirty little pictures
From a life I tried to hide

Broken glass in the gutter, baby
Broken dreams out on the street
Broken hearts on every corner, darling
Shattered ground beneath their feet


Beneath the smoke the city burns
A haze of cigarettes and lust
There's a magic in destruction, girl
In every falsehood that we trust

So seek your comforts somewhere else
Take your broken hearts and heroin
Back to your house and lock the doors
Forget the places that you've been.
another song. think slow, dirty blues.

ever wonder how someone like me comes up with so many drug references? i do. well, there are other things to form habits with.

i've been 'clean', been whole for four months.
(but it seems like longer.)
(but i'm starting to forget the point.)
(but i'm tempted.)
