Song | My Little Shirtwaist Fire |
Artist | Rasputina |
Album | Thanks for the Ether |
作曲 : Creager | |
Once it started the frail and fainthearted | |
Just withered to the floor | |
Oh, so sadly we examined hands burned badly | |
By that which no man fears more | |
The terrible flames of all that remains | |
Of my little shirtwaist fire | |
My best friend was alone in the alcove | |
Does anyone see her there? | |
Such a sweet face trapped in a staircase | |
By the smell of her own burning hair | |
And the terrible flames of all that remains | |
Of my little shirtwaist fire | |
Glow baby glow as the embers they died there | |
Nobody knows what we saw inside there | |
Twisting and burning the girls' fine young bodies | |
Yes, we're burning can you help us please? | |
Yes, we're begging, we're on bended knees | |
Oh, my little shirtwaist fire | |
Girls work hard for small rewards | |
Or invitations to dine | |
Or one kind word from one who loves them | |
But what I have earned is mine | |
The terrible flames of all that remains | |
Of my little shirtwaist fire | |
Glow baby glow as the embers they died there | |
Nobody knows what we saw inside there | |
Twisting and burning, the girls' fine young bodies | |
Yes, we're burning can you help us please? | |
Yes, we're begging, we're on bended knees | |
Oh, my little shirtwaist fire |
