Story behind the song
Prostitutes.
Lyrics
Steady drizzle in a cold hard city
Day gives way to dark
No forgiveness from the streets no pity
As she returns to work
Does what she gotta do to keep it together
And hold on to her pride
To find the truth she gotta seek it forever
And brush her fears aside
When the rain comes down
And the streetlights shine in the night
Tears they make no sound
Falling gently in the shimmering light
Shadows dancing with the ghosts of heaven
Duelin’ with a neon sun
Headlights gleaming on a rain-soaked avenue
Colors bleed into one
As the junkies stagger in their trances
Balanced on the fringes of society
And the dealers flash their furtive glances
She sells her sanity
When the rain comes down
And the streetlights shine in the night
Tears they make no sound
Falling gently in the shimmering light
When the rain comes down
And the streets don’t give her no pity
Tears fall to the ground
Cause she’s alone in a cold hard city
And now she’s searching for a temporary lover
To make the night go by
She sells her lovin’ to another and above her
Sky turns white as morning arrives
When the rain comes down
And the streetlights shine in the night
Tears they make no sound
Falling gently in the shimmering light
When the rain comes down
And the streets don’t give her no pity
Tears fall to the ground
Cause she’s alone in a cold hard city
