Lady In Black

Silent howling in the night

I like my satin black

Blacker than the knife

Thrust in my back

Seeking for a beam of light

In this city of haste

My life cast aside

As toxic waste

Silk and flowers

Ripped of my flesh

Betrayal and sadness

Booming in my chest

Stumbling in my best dress

On Lowest Wacker drive

Unseen and forsaken

One lost Puerto Rican

My heart and heels broken

On Lowest Wacker Drive

Silent howling in the night

I like my satin black

Blacker than the knife

Trust in my back

Seeking for a beam of light

In this city of haste

My life cast aside

As toxic waste

Silk and flowers

Ripped of my flesh

The past is filming over

Memories foam and lather

Your words melt in my tears

On Lowest Wacker Drive

I’ve loved and I’ve seen

The price of self-esteem

Ta daring, the loathing

On Lowest Wacker Drive

Silent howling in the night

I like my satin black

Blacker than the knife

Trust in my back

Seeking for a beam of light

In this city of haste

My life cast aside

As toxic waste

Silk and flowers

Ripped of my flesh

Rolling under my feet

The tarmac cries and weeps

Your heat is my call sheet

On Lowest Wacker Drive
