My Little Shirtwaist Fire lyrics
Song information
Artist: Rasputina Album: Thanks For The Ether
Lyrics
Once it started The frail and fainthearted Just withered to the floor
Oh, so sadly We examined hands burned badly By that which no man fears more
The terrible flames of All that remains of My little shirtwaist fire
My best friend Was alone in the alcove Does anyone see her there?
Such a sweet face Trapped in a staircase By the smell of her own burning hair and the
Terrible flames of All that remains of My little shirtwaist fire
Glow baby glow as the embers they died there Nobody knows what we saw inside there Twisting and burning The girls' fine young bodies
Yes, we're burning can you help us please? Yes, we're begging, we're on bended knees Oh, my little shirtwaist fire
Girls work hard for Small rewards or Invitations to dine
Or one kind word from One who loves them but What I have earned is mine
The terrible flames of All that remain of My little shirtwaist fire
Glow baby glow as the embers they died there Nobody knows what we saw inside there Twisting and burning, the girls' fine young bodies
Yes, we're burning can you help us please? Yes, we're begging, we're on bended knees
