I can't go home I hate it hear The wind gets through The flimsy things they make me wear Nobody hear wants to hear The truth of how it's been For a girl on the street In the city of Turin
After dark in Valentino Park They took away my passport And left a scar And my friend died Because she couldn't lie Truth is a sin on the street In the city of Turin
They make me rent the spot on which I stand They make me pay for this clothing and I feel abandoned in this foggy land In this city called Turin
I wave at cars To get inside Just to keep warm I let him treat me like a wife If I remember just how I have survived I can take it in, in a car, in a street, in the city of Turin
Days in the desert without water and Crammed in a truck and dragged overland We numbered more at the beginning than Since we reached where the rivers meet In the city called Turin
