Standing at the side of a nameless street
with red overknees on her pointed feet
a skimpy dress, the hair bleached white
shivering badly in the cold 'n windy night
Go to the west, her mother had said
It's all for the best, the money ain't bad
With a ticket in hand and a job to wait
Will it be destiny .... or fate?
Dear mum, would you take me back
I'm lost in this world and way off track
I need a friend since I've been gone
Please, .... please take me home
The first seven weeks, looking good
work as a waitress, nice neighborhood
A saturday evening an all-smile dude
offered modeling with the right attitude
Flatter and booze, strip and pic
camcorder ready, just a short flick
Trust me girl, you'll be a star
don't cry now, you've already gone to far

Dear mum, would you take me back
I'm lost in this world and way off track
I need a friend since I've been gone
Please, .... please take me home
The dude took off, the website down
a tattered reputation in a foreign town
The job no more and the money gone
her body for cash is all they've ever known
Standing at the side of a nameless street
with red overknees on her pointed feet
the make-up ruined by her endless tears
her hope barely covering her fears
Dear mum, would you take me back
I'm lost in this world and way off track
I need a friend since I've been gone
Please, .... please take me home
