     On a mission after graveyard duty
     from a prison where she lost her time
     she's calling through the pain to weave her story
     about mistaken minds.
     She comes out of the heart where the tears start running
     like a river flowing from the veins
     she's lost her lasting expectations
     and she played the wrong game
     a lost lady of the night.

     By the graffiti walls where the night trade calls
     she passed the sad moment of truth
     now she tries her best to give new direction
     to the spoils of youth.
     Through the faded halls where the shadows fall
     there's a third floor room she turned to
     where the night light flames were flickered remains
     of a fire passing through
     a lost lady of the night.

     Bridge:
     Her tears fall on a sponge covered future.
     her words cry like the wind in the trees
     She calls to mind her first vision
     a small home by the sea

     Now the time has come and it's bitter
     and the guests and the score lists are gone
     she's thrown away her time and her calling
     and she's got to move on.
     But the warning's the same the bell tolls again
     and the message sounds another day
     She's not sure who's gonna listen
     but she's gotta have her say.
     a lost lady of the night
     lost to the night...not coming back... fade

The role of poetry is to utter the un-utterable; to open up
spaces of consciousness and resistance; to language oppressions; to
re-language historie
