LADY IN BLACK

Silent howling in the night 
I like my satin black 
Blacker than the knife  [bad word] in my back 

Seeking for a beam of light 
In this city of haste 
My life cast aside 
As toxic waste 

Silk and flowers 
Ripped of my flesh 

Betrayal and sadness 
Booming in my chest 
Stumbling in my best dress 
On Lowest Wacker drive 

Unseen and forsaken 
One lost Puerto Rican 
My heart and heels broken 
On Lowest Wacker Drive 

Silent howling in the night 
I like my satin black 
Blacker than the knife  [bad word] in my back 

Seeking for a beam of light 
In this city of haste 
My life cast aside 
As toxic waste 

Silk and flowers 
Ripped of my flesh 

The past is filming over 
Memories foam and lather 
Your words melt in my tears 
On Lowest Wacker Drive 

I’ve loved and I’ve seen 
The price of self-esteem 
The daring, the loathing 
On Lowest Wacker Drive 

Silent howling in the night 
I like my satin black 
Blacker than the knife  [bad word] in my back 

Seeking for a beam of light 
In this city of haste 
My life cast aside 
As toxic waste 

Silk and flowers 
Ripped of my flesh 

Rolling under my feet 
The tarmac cries and weeps 
Your heat is my call sheet 
On Lowest Wacker Drive
