Asking for a handout
You don't happen too, would you?
Praying for a spare bill in hand
Obligation synonymous with sympathy
She creeps out of her safety
High school kid, Nothing goes as planned
Midnight guides her down the dark alley light
Hands em' over a twenty
And you keep praying, keep playing
Asking away
Well isn't comfortable that way?
