Lyrics

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
