She said to herself 
                      E'I'm (022100@1)just screwing my own mental health' 

But Fridays and Saturdays 
                     DShe (xx0232@1)walks down those alleyways 

A latter day lady of the lamp

Won't you come in? 
    EI'm (022100@1)really not scared- 

'Cause Fridays and Saturdays 
              DI (xx0232@1)still do it anyways 

And anything is better than out here 


ANow (x02220@1)don't wake me up again 

Don't let me feel anything 
             DBut (xx0232@1)when you go
