lyrics

i was serenading a white lizard
in a trashed out double wide
a man came out of the shower
i had nowhere to hide
he came at me with a machete
saying "just give me a kiss"
i stuck a hairpin in his eye
and my life was set adrift
i guess it was my fate to meet
the sisters of the broken feet

now im drinkin with the ghetto's hand me downs
in a shantytown house on puget sound
ive seen the grease in the geisha's comb
and the scalps in the ditch where the buffalo roam

i can find my way back home again
if i follow the scars and count my sins
through these unfamilar street
walk the sisters of the broken feet

i was down and out in texas
when two pretty boys came by
invited me to share their lunch
in their penthouse in the sky
they gave me a bath then took my clothes
and threw them in the hall
one held me down the other
tore apart my sugar walls

my face is battered, black and bruised
my belly lined with scars
the sisters of the broken feet
whisper "now you are one of ours"

We are sick of this life
Why wont they let us go straight?
Why do we exist?
Let our memory be dust
There must never be another generation
of women like us
