She climbed up to the roof n' she looked down

She pictured her body splattered all over the ground

Her daddy'd done her harm, so she stuck a needle in her arm

-guess I just lost my degenerate girl


Few years back she went out to L.A.

Turning petty tricks to get her pay

But the streets are full O' sleaze

So she got a brand new disease

-Guess I just lost my degenerate girl


Everybody knows that she's messed up - oh yeah

But they can't do a thing for her

Everybody knows that she's fucked up - oh yeah

But I can't do a thing for her


Betty had dreams that she could go real far

She moved to the hills to make it as a movie star

But the only screen time she got

Was starring with a money shot

- I guess I just lost my degenerate girl


She jumped off that roof in her wedding dress

Next days footnote in the back o' the press

But there's one thing you should know

she's at peace six feet below


I guess I just lost my degenerate girl
