Wages of sin

sold to the lady in the corner
my life for a gallon of beer
take me away and do as you will
for the moment I have no fear
and let me tell you the love I have
and promise the earth and it's riches
and then you can hold me as softly I cry
down the highway of so many bitches
and wake beside me and see in my eyes
that terror and pain lie within
and laugh to my face as you walk out the door
and leave me to my wages of sin
