In the city, somewhere near here
story of a girl, could happen anywhere
It was the first time on her own,
her first time away from home

On the first day, just off the bus
corn fed, full of innocence and trust
I came, dropped the science
sometimes evil wears a smile

Chorus:
I tried to tell her
that they eat their young
in the city
they care nothing for her

Coming down now from the upper east
she got a duplex with a parking space
she may have been blinded
by the glare of the sun off the high-rise

On the second day, just like a virus
Prada bag, Gucci shoes, Armani dress
she made an investment
sold her soul for a piece of a dot net

Repeat Chorus

Sitting down now, cafe in the village
she's got her latté and palm-top tuned into stock qoutes
she rules them with her eyes
built high on a tower of lies

On the third day, she made new friends
Chem-peel, lifted faces, saline breasts
I saw it in their eyes
They devour their own kind

Repeat Chorus
