Flogging Molly - "Factory Girls"

"Factory Girls"

(feat. Lucinda Williams)

[Intro]

Build a bridge or maybe two

together held with footsteps she outgrew
But now she sits alone - everyone's long gone

She dances in a photograph
When it was good to joke and have a laugh
But that was yesterday - if only today

Now these walls are crawling 
faces that still breathe
But before she nods her head 

what's left but sleep ?

She hears a chorus of factory girls
Singin' in the streets, drinkin' their coca-colas
After washing your filthy sheets

Chasing down the avenue
After a childhood that she never knew
Choking on woodbine
Cigarettes just kill the time

Now these walls are 

crawling faces that still breathe
But before she nods her head 

what's left but sleep ?

She hears a chorus of factory girls
Singing aoin and all, empty are their pockets
But their voices are filled with songs

Come day, go day
wish in my heart it was Sunday
Drinking buttermilk all the week
And whiskey on a Sunday 

 Come day, go day
wish in my heart it was Sunday
Drinking buttermilk all the week
And whiskey on a Sunday
 
Now the walls are crawling 
faces that still breathe
But before she nods her head 

what's left but sleep ?

She hears a chorus of factory girls
Singin' in the streets, drinkin' their coca-colas
After washing your filthy sheets

She hears a chorus of factory girls
Singing aoin and all, empty are their pockets
But their voices are filled with songs

S ... Richard and his court of Kings
He stole my heart and many other things
But me I took his crown
Wish he was here to steal it now
