There are those, spend the night   Under bridges   Over by the river, down in the park   Through the winter   But there's a house that I know   Safe and warm   And no-one ever goes there   Down where the priests, bless the wine      She's been born into the wrong time   She keeps nonsense on her mind   She's a poet, she's a builder   She's as bored as bored can be   She's a have-not, she's a know-all   She knows just how to say, "Yes"   She's skating frozen chaos   Till the no good Gods are dead      But sometimes in the dead of night   Woken by the city lights   She wonders how she keeps alive      This is the girl who   Lost the house which   Paid to the man who   Put up the rent and   Threw out the girl to   Feather his own sweet home      She's a clueless social climber   Likes the wrong side of the bed   She's a pick-me-up and she's a   Drink-to-me in the company of friends   She's tried every variation   She's so common, she's so cold   She's homesick for a future   Can't stomach what she's told      On every street in every town   All her days are up and down   At home among the lost-and-founds      This is the girl who   Lost the house which   Paid to the man who   Put up the rent and   Threw out the girl to   Feather his own sweet home      Here's the good Samaritan   Looks away and carries on   Looks away and carries on      This is the girl who   Lost the house which   Paid to the man who   Put up the rent and   Threw out the girl to   Feather his own sweet home      This is the girl who   Lost the house which   Paid to the man who   Put up the rent and   Threw out the girl to   Feather his own sweet home      This is the girl who   Lost the house which   Paid to the man who   Put up the rent and   Threw out the girl to   Feather his own sweet home      This is the girl who   Lost the house which   Paid to the man who   Put up the rent and   Threw out the girl to   Feather his own sweet home      Thank you for every tree and flower   Thank you for every sky of pool   Thank you I should be every hour   Truly thanking you
