Betty found the city Now the city's found Betty in a hole With a tattoo around her ankle And a tiny little jackal in her soul
They wrapped her up and put her in a hole Yeah they put her in a hole Wrapped her and put her in a hole Yeah they put her in a hole
It was six in the morning When I saw her shaking hands with a ghost Trying to rub the cracks from her face As a new day broke
They wrapped her up and put her in a hole Yeah they put her in a hole Wrapped her and put her in a hole Yeah they put her in a hole
Someday, you'll be rid of this weight She takes a foreigner's kiss, And wipes it from her cold, cold lips She takes a foreigner's kiss, And wipes it from her cold, cold lips
Sitting on a park bench, waiting for the neon to glow Tracing little pictures in the air 'Cause her boat don't row
They wrapped her up and put her in a hole Yeah they put her in a hole Wrapped her and put her in a hole Yeah they put her in a hole
Someday, you'll be rid of this weight She takes a foreigner's kiss, And wipes it from her cold, cold lips She takes a foreigner's kiss, And wipes it from her cold, cold lips
Life ain't what it seems, When you chase the tail of a dream As she, she rides around On a carousel She, she rides around On a carousel
