I remember one young sister with rainbows in her eyes

Standing on a corner with the afternoon supply

She spoke of other places perhaps a better road

Then she asked if I could tell her where they kept the mother lode

Like a night this side of dying

Her day inside the dropper on the shelf

When she hears her lifeline crying

Not a thing you say can stop her

When she just can stop herself

I remember that July the panic and the heat

The savage shine of summer the strychnine in the street

The way they sold each other for a favor in glassine

The best of friends sold brothers for a dime of quinine dreams

Like a night this side of dying

Her day inside the dropper on the shelf

Like the shelter she been buying

Not a thing I got can save her

When she just can save herself

She just can save herself
