Lyrics

On seven sisters
Lay down your innocence
Cash in your ignorance
Know a lot about truth
And it's no playground
It's one big letdown
It looks like a backstreet bargain baby
But you just got screwed
And on that high road
You live in the shadows
And the one that follows
Is your silent twin
And it's a sad reminder
When you try to find her
She's back on the old main drag
In trouble again
Ten Hail Marys and she's ready to score
Dealing with the damage of a grown up war
Returning tricks and tourniquets and nothing more
Than another wasted day
Cinderella's on the corner with her eyes in tears
Waiting for the moment when the magic appears
They expected her home for the past two years
I guess she lost her way
The tide is always turning
Deep inside your desire's burning
And you're dying, dying, dying just to get away
And you thought you had it down
When you first came to this town
Now you're begging for a helping hand and a brand new day
Begging back all that seven sisters took away
Can I beg again?
Can I beg again?
I wish I could escape from the old main drag
From the old main drag
