Street Corner Felines

Street corner felines
Street corner felines
Felines like to strut
Canines like to hunt
All animals seek companionship
Ladies walk the pavement
They're looking for a fella who will pick them up tonight
Men in limousines eyeball these kittens
Nothing ever lights up this part of the city
Some guys are friendly and some guys are very mean
A girl learns the truth when the lights go off

Street corner felines
Their hides are for sale every day and night
Street corner felines
Live and die upon this avenue (Yes)

Red high heels and lipstick
A white blouse that's cut so very low
Short skirts show off their fishnets
She's got a lovely french manicure
Underneath this clothing you can only imagine

Hey girl, where you goin' to?
Look around you - come on
There's trouble everywhere
Hey girl, where you goin' to?
Be careful, baby
Be careful

Cindy ran away as a kid
Her father liked the bottle and throwing fists
For two years she sold herself as a woman (Hustlin')
She plied the trade on the avenue, but still she feels the hurt

Last week Sally turned up dead
Strangled for a thrill and left in the gutter
This savvy kitten had a gun in her purse
But she wasn't quick enough
Look out, felines, this dog is still hungry

Hey girl, where you goin' to?
Look around you - come on
There's trouble everywhere (what a shame)
Hey girl, where you goin' to?
Be careful, baby
Be careful
Street corner felines
Oh, no, no, no!

Street corner felines
Their hides are for sale every day and night (I see)
Street corner felines (Just a little girl)
Live and die upon this avenue
No, no, no no
Street corner felines
Look out, now!
Street corner felines
You better watch it, baby
Street corner felines
You gotta be ready
It ain't safe out here
Street corner felines
it ain't safe out here, no no
Street corner felines
No, no, no no
It's not too late to go legit
Street corner felines
You're better than this
Street corner felines
Street corner felines, watch yourself
Street corner felines
Watch yourself, watch yourself
Street corner felines
No, no, no, no, no, no, no
It ain't safe out here
