Girl in the window,
Girl in the window,
How much will you give
For the girl in the window?
She sits in tattered over-sized
Sweats and a flesh-colored pea coat
Whore in the window
Whore in the window
Why are you calling her a whore?
She’s just open and loving
If a whore is someone who
Offers free love
In a society that tries
To stifle love with all their might
(And they don’t even realize it)
Then I suppose she is a whore
Human in the window
Human in the window
We’re all just
Humans in the window
Watching the world
Screened and safe
Feeling the impulse to crush glass
Because we can feel the beating of
This world’s heart just outside
And some day we know we’ll leave
Animals in the window
Animals in the window
Why do we put
Animals behind a window
Isn’t it bad enough that we
Trap ourselves
Why must we do the same to
Those who have no choice
Why must we do the same?
Isn’t it bad enough we do it to ourselves?
