and come back to life ?!

IT ALL BEGAN WITH I GUY I KNEW
HAD A BROTHER OVER FROM NYC.
THEY WERE HOT BUT WE DIDN 'T KNOW THEN
they were in real deep - ON-THE-RUN-BEING-WATCHED BY-THE-NYPD
they had a scam selling white powder dreams to girls
looking to forget life, like bee & me
MILES HIGH, SHE DID IT ON THE RUG IN THE OFFICE WITH ROY
LEFT THE KINDA MARKS ON HER KNEES
ITS HARD TO LIE.
NEXT DAY SHE WAS BEAT UP BAD
I DONT THINK HER MAN TOOK IT, TOOK IT ALL TO WELL
DAMN HIS VIOLENT TOUCH, HE THINK ITS LOVE, SHES HAD ENOUGH,
CANT SAY SHE ISNT BETTER OFF, WITHOUT HIM
WHAT STARTED OUT FOR KICKS BECAME A REGULAR THING,
FIENDING TO GET BY, AND THERES NO HAPPY END.
LONG GONE OUR LAUGHING, LAUGHING & DREAMS,
SHE GONE WILD CHILD WITH HER CRACKER JACKS
------------------------------------------------------------------------------
CHORUS:
Say won't you give it up - give it up
and come back to the Green?!
YAAH won't you give it up, give it up
and come back to life?!
