Working Girl

Seedy side of town Gutters of known renown Red light districts Lost souls and misfits Sharing needles Drunken binges Exchange of money With someone else's honey Dripping with lust Cops making busts Dangling keys on a chain Hand cuffed in cells Sleeping off hangovers From hell Ladies of the night Fishing for a bite Using flesh as bait Strutting their stuff On dirty side streets Selling their wares For a quick score In hotel rooms Treated like whores There they remain Locked away like criminals Looked upon with disdain In the seedy side of town
