Your Little Hoodrat Friend

Your little hoodrat friend makes me sick

But after I get sick I just get sad

Because it burns being broke and it hurts to be heartbroken

But always being both must be a drag



She's been calling me again

She's been calling me again



Your little hoodrat friend's been calling me again

And I can't stand all the things that she sticks into her skin

Like sharpened ballpoint pens and steel guitar strings

She says it hurts, but it's worth it

Tiny little text etched into her neck it said

"Jesus lived and died for all your sins"

She's got blue black ink and it's scratched into her lower back

It said "damn right I'll rise again"

Yeah, damn right you'll rise again



I've been dusted in the dark up in Penetration Park

And I've been plastered

I've been shaking hard and searching in a dirty storefront church

And I've been plowed



But I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

What makes you think I'm getting with your little hoodrat friend?



Your little hoodrat friend got me high though

We were 17 and stuck up in Osseo

She said it's funny even true love gets troubled by still water

And washed up in the Mississippi River

Her claddagh ring was pointed at the people

She said "St. Theresa came to me in dreams"

She said "I ain't gonna do anything sexual with you

I'm kinda saving myself for the scene"



I've been dusted in the dark up in Penetration Park

And I've been plastered

I've been shaking hard and searching in a dirty storefront church

And I've been plowed



But I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

What makes you think I'm getting with your little hoodrat friend?



She said City Center used to be the center of the scene

Now City Center's over, no one really goes there

Then we used to drink beneath this railroad bridge

Some nights the bus wouldn't even stop there were just way too many kids



I was waiting for my ride and I got jumped from behind

I got punctured

I got stopped by the cops, they found it in my socks

And I got probed



But I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

I ain't ever been with your little hoodrat friend

What makes you think I'm getting with your little hoodrat friend?
