She smiles for every passing car
and when they stop with door ajar
she casts her gaze upon a star
and earns her pay
on the pillow
Her face is etched with memories
of living life amid the sleaze
knowing she's been paid to please
making her way
on the pillow
Daylight comes
she rests her head
the beauty of an empty bed
she dreams of happy days instead
with no one else
on the pillow
She lost her dreams of shining knights
for pimps and bars and money fights
for nameless faces in red lights
there is no peace
on the pillow
She's felt the long arm of the law
heard the names and jokes before
those iron bars don't hurt no more
she'll find some rest
on the pillow
Taking drugs was not for fun
it helped her feel like going on
she only hurts now when it's done
so she turns her head
to the pillow
She takes a blade and breaks her skin
sweet life force flows from within
the burning pain starts to dim
as she lays her head
on the pillow
Sunlight creeps across her head
pale beauty on a crimson bed
no dreams of happy days ahead
no more tomorrows
on the pillow
