On Nelson Street near Granville She dances a deadly pirouette Little Julianne from Kellimat Her working name's Annette You can see behind her makeup mister That's right she's only sixteen years But all she wants is money Jack Not your bloody sympathy or tears They circle her in foreign cars The businessmen like panthers and like sharks All the leaders of society are howling Prowling through the dark Is that a clergyman, a lawyer With a mask upon his face? Stocking Julianne tonight Behind the Nelson place And the ballet class of '91 will miss her And her hometwon hero never got to kiss her She's as far away from home as she can get Little Juliette, her working name's Annette She daydreams for a moment SongtexteDancing ?Swan Lake?, yeah she's a star Till a cop rolls up and screams at her Hey princess where the hell you think you are? Then he says how'd you get here darling I got a daughter just your age She coughs and doesn't tell him About her daddy's drunken rage And the ballet class of '91 will miss her And her hometwon hero never got to kiss her She's as far away from home as she can get Little Juliette, her working name's Annette The desk clerk at the Coldbolt Says I got a bag I think she left Full of teddybears and ballet slippers The working girl we called Annette Yeah I believe she drove to Calgary With a hustler named Alaith He had her in his power You could read it on her face (Thanks to albrock for these lyrics) Aus Songtexte Mania
