Gino Vanelli - Shame Lyrics


Gino Vanelli Lyrics

Shame Lyrics
The citys burning with desire

High-heeled chicks turnin tricks in a trance

Pin-stripe zombies on fire

Sayin hey baby, heres a dime for a dance

(out on the street)

I see innocent faces in the rain

(out on the street)

I see make-up runnin down from tears of pain

Down the drain



Shame

Now mama tell it like it is

Its a shame

For what papa did

Its a shame

Your sister shouldve told you so

Its a shame

cause nobody wants to know



The neon moon turns red around midnight

Junior junkies and runaway girls

Blue eyed babies posing in the headlights

Another stray cat in a dog eat dog world

(out on the street)

Aint no room for no cheap talkin prayer

(out on the street)

You dont know what its like till youre there

And youre runnin scared



Shame

Now mama tell it like it is

Its a shame

The way papa hurt his kid

Its a shame

Your sister shouldve told you so

Its a shame

Cmon man let her go



So young

Yet so old

So hard to find a friend

She lives from lover to lover

till theres nothing left of her

Yeah sweet daddy scores again



Shame

Now mama tell it like it is

Its a shame

The way papa hurt his kid

Its a shame

Your sister shouldve told you so

Its a shame

Cmon man let her go



The world shouldve let you know

Cmon man let her go

Shame on the school

Shame on the teacher

Shame on those sticky little fingers all over that helpless creature

Shame on the parish

Shame on the preacher

From where he stands that man dont have half a chance to reach her

Shame shame shame

On me and you

Shame shame shame

Now what are we goin to do
