Lyrics

She seemed almost demented
As she frantically repented
For the crime in which she filled her empty bowl
It was empty like her soul
She kneeled inside the confession booth
And she told that holy man the truth
But the booth was empty
Frozen black as coal
It was damp and cold

Where are you gonna run to now?
You lost what faith you had somehow
Your show is over
It's time to take a bow
Where are you gonna run to now?

She spends her nights with lonely men
And she goes too far every now and then
But it's her longest running show
And the oldest job around
They say she's the best in town

Where are you gonna run to now?
You lost what pride you had somehow
Your show is over
It's time to take a bow
Where are you gonna run to now?

Now in 5 more years she'll be 23
And in a lot of ways she's just like me
She gives away her body
I give away my soul
We're always searching for life's treasures to unfold
We give it all to you
Yet we have no pot of gold

So where are we gonna run to now?
We lost what love we had somehow
We're on this one way highway
Until the bitter end
But where are we gonna run to then?
