Lyrics

Little girl lost, and she's got no home
Trying to catch a ride
Heading for the shadows of the
Bright city lights
All dressed up for Sunday today
Dressed from head to toe all in white
Taking candy from strangers
In the middle of the night

Alleyways and dingy cafes
Don't make much of a home
People crowded on the city streets
But you feel so all alone
Strangers follow you home at night
You're young and so afraid
But your famous childhood guardian is nowhere

Sing Sister Sing
Don't let nobody turn you around
Grab a hold of my coattails
If you think you're falling down
Sing Sister Sing
Sing of all the pain that you've seen
Tomorrow is a new day
Living the American Dream


Little girl lost, this time for good
She can't get up off the floor
Took a little something to kill the pain
Then she took a little bit more
All the empty souls waiting outside
Scratching at her door
They've taken everything she's got
Now they're back for more

No one knows the way that she felt
When she climbed down from the wall
Lost her key-chain victory
To that stranger in the hall
People up on the higher floors
Looked down to watch the scene
But her famous childhood guardian was nowhere
