about
Nobody missed this 16 year old. A story of a girl prostituting herself for drug money. We can often see abuse happening, as can the institutions who are supposed to look after us. Apathy seems to be a human state. Animals warn each other of danger for the species to have some chance of survival… we perhaps need to do the same.
lyrics
15 days
By the light of the neon crucifix, people walk by her, waiting for her kicks.
Robin sang this territory’s his, God’s stone steps, where she found her first fix.
God’s stone steps, she found her fix.
She walked each night to earn her cure, mistletoe bowed down just like before.
Holly berry dropped, she lay her down, quiet in the graveyard so not to be found.
Soul flew her body, she saw beautiful sights, glistening spiders, shooting stars
And the neon light.
Money you’ll pay me to give the next man, to feed your sweet soul by whatever you can.
Money you’ll pay me before the night is through, orders I’ll keep when I beat you.
Patience I plead, for you I’ll be sure, this body has riches; I’ll do as before.
The stone step that winter warmed her each night.
Angels they watched, stared in the neon light.
Silver for needles to him she gave, gold was the measure which would save her.
Her body he beat. Angels they cried. Berry red blood ran warm by her side.
Robin he’s silent, the spider’s still with fright.
15 more days before they named the girl of the neon light.
By the light of the neon crucifix, people walk by her, waiting for her kicks,
Robin sang this territory’s his, God’s stone steps, where she found her first fix,
God’s stone steps, she found her fix.
