Della Brown - Queensrÿche

You’ve got a cardboard house

Live there all the time

Keep your memories tied with string

The face that many once adored

Twenty years gone maybe more

Somewhere you lost the dream

Mama watched your every move, but now you’re all alone

She’s been gone for awhile

Daddy left some time ago, fading years pass too slow

He’s the only one, could make you smile

Oh, you’re still crying

Big city bound

Gona make your mark

Read your name in the lights

All the ads and people say, beauty lets you get you way

Tried your best to prove them right

But living on the streets ain’t bad, sad people make you glad

Pardon me, could you spare some change

-Oh, you’re still crying-

Street corner girl

Watch the crowd go by

Fill your tin can with life

Summer days tend to slip away

Like your men you couldn’t make them stay

Hard to choose, whiskey or a wife

Sometimes you wonder where’s the end

Where you goin' where you been?

Happiness seems so hard to win

Most never care to find

Della Brown sees it all the time

Looking for that man to make her smile again
