rate me

(G.Kooymans/F.Carillo) Carmalita's in the doorway, with her hand on her hip Smilin' at all the boys as they shuffle on by She makes a lot of money with a brand new trick They come in from all over just to give her a try Give her try She doesn't seem to notice, that she's being bled The streetlights throw shadow lovers onto her bed She doesn't seem to notice that she is being bled If this is living then you're better off dead Ooh ooh la la la la la Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead Ooh ooh la la la la la Lupe, Lupe gets more crazy as the moon gets full She papered all the walls with the NY Times She thinks that she is the Queen reborn of the Nile Swears at all the people as they walk on by Walk on by The streetlights throw shadow lovers onto her bed No one ever understand a single word she says The street lights throw shadow lovers onto her bed If this is living then you're better off dead Ooh ooh la la la la la Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead Ooh ooh la la la la la Well they've got every kind of remedy to make you feel right Pills and thrills in every shape and size You scramble up your brain in cocktail shaker And throw it out the window for a big surprise, big surprise Wake up in the morning, nothing left in your head If this is livin', you're better off dead Ooh ooh la la la la la Ooh ooh ohh, better off dead Ooh ooh la la la la la If this is livin', you're better off dead If this is livin' If this is livin', you're better off dead
