The citys burning with desire High-heeled chicks turnin tricks in a trance Pin-stripe zombies on fire Sayin hey baby, heres a dime for a dance (out on the street) I see innocent faces in the rain (out on the street) I see make-up runnin down from tears of pain Down the drain
Shame Now mama tell it like it is Its a shame For what papa did Its a shame Your sister shouldve told you so Its a shame Cause nobody wants to know
The neon moon turns red around midnight Junior junkies and runaway girls Blue eyed babies posing in the headlights Another stray cat in a dog eat dog world (out on the street) Aint no room for no cheap talkin prayer (out on the street) You don't know what it's like till you're there And you're runnin scared
Shame Now mama tell it like it is Its a shame The way papa hurt his kid Its a shame Your sister shouldve told you so Its a shame Cmon man let her go
So young Yet so old So hard to find a friend She lives from lover to lover Till there's nothing left of her Yeah sweet daddy scores again
Shame Now mama tell it like it is Its a shame The way papa hurt his kid Its a shame Your sister shouldve told you so Its a shame Cmon man let her go
The world shouldve let you know Cmon man let her go Shame on the school Shame on the teacher Shame on those sticky little fingers all over that helpless creature Shame on the parish Shame on the preacher From where he stands that man don't have half a chance to reach her Shame shame shame On me and you Shame shame shame Now what are we goin to do [ Lyrics from: http://www.lyricsfreak.com/g/gino+vanelli/shame_20060321.html ]
