Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Day-In Oo Oo Day-Out Oo Oo Oo She was born in a handbag love left on a doorstep What she lacks is a backup nothing seems to make a dent Gonna find her some money honey try to pay her rent That's the kind of protection everyone is shouting about CHORUS Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Day-In Oo Oo Day-Out Oo Oo Oo First thing she learns is she's a citizen, some things they turn out right When you're under the USA something rings a bell and it's all over She's going out her way stealing for that one good rush Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out She could use a little money she's hangin' on his arms like a cheap suit She's got no money, honey she's the other side Oh come on little baby late night, big town, police, shake down Oo Oo Oo Oo Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Oo Oo Oo Oo Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out She's got a ticket to nowhere she's gonna take a train ride Nobody knows her, or knows her name she's in the pocket of a home boy Oo she's gonna take her a shotgun Pow spin the grail spin the drug She's gonna make them well aware she's an angry gal Day-In Day-Out Stay-In Fade-Out Suddenly there's angels everywhere Angels in a ton of sound And they shootin' her down Shootin her with video-drugs-bullets and promises
