Riptides (The) - Degenerate Girl lyrics

She climbed up to the roof n' she looked down She pictured her body splattered all over the ground Her daddy'd done her harm, so she stuck a needle in her arm -guess I just lost my degenerate girl Few years back she went out to L.A. Turning petty tricks to get her pay But the streets are full O' sleaze So she got a brand new disease -Guess I just lost my degenerate girl Everybody knows that she's messed up - oh yeah But they can't do a thing for her Everybody knows that she's fucked up - oh yeah But I can't do a thing for her Betty had dreams that she could go real far She moved to the hills to make it as a movie star But the only screen time she got Was starring with a money shot - I guess I just lost my degenerate girl She jumped off that roof in her wedding dress Next days footnote in the back o' the press But there's one thing you should know she's at peace six feet below I guess I just lost my degenerate girl
