Uncle Salty

Uncle Salty told me
Stories of the lonely
Baby, we can only come alive to me

Her man he was lusted
Daddy he was busted
They left her to be trusted
To the orphanage

But when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Uncle Salty told me
When she was just a baby
That she could buy a maybe
Someday she'd see

Soon she found that money
Is love for all the others
The pushers and the shovers
Was the life to me

But when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, oh yeah
Oh, oh yeah

Now she's doin' many
For money and the penny
Sell her for a penny or two or three

Hers is the cunnin'
For men that come a runnin'
They all come for fun and it seems to me

That when she cried at night
No one cared
And when she cried at night
Went insane

Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
Oh, it's a sunny day outside my window
