On The Dark Streets Below Lyrics - Good Morning, Magpie - Murder By Death

Slow down little girl 

You've lost your way in the world 

Slow down and start again 

You'll feel much better in the end 

Annie's always been a live one 

Says the matroness 

She never cries, she never lets 

Her sorrows get the best of her 

She makes a kind of music 

Of the buttons popping off her dress 

She knows that's just the way it goes 

On the dark streets below

Adelle came from a decent town 

Scraped by for first month's rent 

Guessed with her brain 

She could find a job in management 

She showed promise in algebra 

But now her talent's spent 

On other's people's dough 

On the dark streets below 

So get up, kid 

Your're ... again 

I never knew a time 

When you wouldn't take a bet 

Slow down little girl 

You've lost your way in this world 

Slow down, start again 

You'll feel much better in the end

August from the old country 

Came over on a ship 

It was like a floating oil drum 

Had barely made the trip 

She knew that she'd been screwed 

As soon as she'd pulled up on the spit 

Now she knows the dark streets below 

These folks got nowhere left to go 

The dark streets below 

The dark streets below 

The dark streets below
