For Amy

They say she was six Seductive beyond her years Hidden behind her childs eyes A sea of silent tears What a pretty little girl They all used to say Look as she walks Her hips seem to sway Someday she’ll be a model Or a big runway star With a look like that She’s sure to go far Walk like this, baby And talk like that Bow to the man honey He puts the money in the hat It wasn’t long Before all knew her name The pretty little girl Playing a grown-ups’ game No time for dolls Her mother always said With the price they pay We can keep us all fed Now you know, baby You can’t go out and play You have to sit for photos With the nice men today It’s ok sweet one Show a little leg It’ll make the nice men Stand up and beg Her soul had been sold By the time she was ten The life of a child She’d never have again She’s all grown up now Feeling alone and abused The marks on her arms Tell of the things she’s used Just one more fix And the pain will go away She’ll be alright now Amy died today….
