Take a walk down the sunset strip as the night rolls around and she’s lookin’ for tips
Behind the curtain her life style hides as the sun goes down but she’s terrified
Million dollar man and he’s lookin’ flash she’ll do anything if he puts up the cash
And she’ll contemplate her suicide when the rooster crows and there’s no darkness to hide
What she’s done
For your luck for your life, she lives on the edge of a switchblade knife
For your luck for your life, to her it’s just another hell bound night
For your luck for your life, and she can’t stand to see herself in the light
For your luck for your life, you got the money she’s got the time
I got some money, spend my time going insane my head locked and loaded on whisky, cocaine
But now I don’t need that shit anymore and I get my highs from the rock n roll show
One night when the curtain came down and I saw her face out at the front of the crowd
I could see what no one else could see I could see her fear and see those tears
In her eyes
For your luck for your life, she lives on the edge of a switchblade knife
For your luck for your life, to her it’s just another hell bound night
For your luck for your life, and she can’t stand to see herself in the light
For your luck for your life, you got the money she’s got the time
And I
Only me
I could see
The hell
Where she’s been
A night queen
Its obscene
Her life told a tale of slaves and masters of hell in chains and one night disasters
Scarred for life a distasteful angel nights of evil dealings and perfect strangers
I made my offer and I named my price and put my money down just to save her life
Now I want to see her living free see her livin’ out the things that she sees
In her dreams
For your luck for your life, she lives on the edge of a switchblade knife
For your luck for your life, to her it’s just another hell bound night
For your luck for your life, and she can’t stand to see herself in the light
For your luck for your life, you got the money she’s got the time
