Remember Her Name

Her first breath
Is drawn through a cigarette
Her first drink
Last night’s scotch
Just to wet her cracked lips
She looks at the man beside her
Lying in the bed
She doesn’t know his name
She only hopes he’s not dead
She feels like
Marianne Faithfull
Marianne Faithfull
She hopes at the end of the day
Someone remembers her name
She goes out for some late afternoon work
Down in Times Square
Maybe she’ll meet Steven Tyler
On a double dare
Turning tricks in a theater
She’s a creature
In her own double feature
She feels like
Marianne Faithfull
Marianne Faithfull
She hopes at the end of this day
Someone remembers her name
At the end of the day
Remember her name
I do
It’s Marianne Faithfull
Marianne Faithfull
Marianne Faithfull
Marianne Faithfull
On a good day
On a bad day
