This Town Belongs to Us Now

Lyrics: This Town Belongs to Us Now

We came in heels and midnight lace Painted mouths and a borrowed face Beneath motel signs and neon rain We took their trade, we took their lane The working girls who knew this ground Heard our silence and backed down The street bosses watched, then stepped aside They saw our eyes and chose not to die Let them whisper Let them run They all know what we’ve become This town belongs to us now Every block, every room, every darkened downtown Any fool who interferes Is already lost when the night draws near This town belongs to us now We wear desire like a velvet crown The johns pull up, the johns lean in And feed the hunger underneath our skin We smile soft at the passenger side Promise warmth and a place to hide They think they found an easy flame But they never even learn our names The old girls vanished, heels gone still The handlers lost their iron will No corner left for them to claim The whole damned district knows our name No one warns them No one stays All the brave men fade away This town belongs to us now Every block, every room, every darkened downtown Any fool who interferes Is already lost when the night draws near This town belongs to us now We wear desire like a velvet crown The johns pull up, the johns step near And leave behind their final fear Men are the hunger Women are the flame One feeds the body One speaks our name The johns come calling when the night is deep Blood in their veins and promises cheap But women come when the curtains close Soft as the dark where the daylight goes We do not feed where our hearts lie We keep our lovers from the killing sky In silk and shadow, safe from the sun They warm the hours when the hunting is done We were three, now more will rise Red in the mouth, fire in the eyes One by one, then ten by ten The night opens wide and lets us in From motel stairs to backstreet bars From pickup trucks to boulevard cars We do not drift, we do not fade We came to feed, we came to stay Lock your doors Hide your pride The whole town turns when we arrive This town belongs to us now Every block, every room, every darkened downtown Any fool who interferes Is already lost when the night draws near This town belongs to us now We wear desire like a velvet crown The johns pull up, the johns give in And feed the empire beneath our skin This town belongs to us now No street boss, no coward, no king stands proud The girls have fled, the brave men bow This town belongs to us now Not one corner Not one street We take the district Beat by beat Not one corner Not one street We take the district Beat by beat The girls are gone The bosses fled The johns still come And we are fed But when dawn burns And night is done Our women wait Away from the sun Men are the hunger Women are the flame The town is ours Remember our name This town belongs to us now.
