Swift moving cars Tongues hanging out of windows Whistles waiting at street corners Hunting eyes I am their prey this time Wandering hands Unwelcomed words That make toes curl Short skirts On summer days Put your flesh away His fingers pierce my skin He licks his lips and pulls me in Out of breath Down dark alleyways I had to leave I couldn't stay On these streets I am not safe On these streets hungry eyes come out to play.

My smile is not a permission slip
Swift moving cars Tongues hanging out of windows Whistles waiting at street corners Hunting eyes I am their prey this time Wandering hands Unwelcomed words That make toes curl Short skirts On summer days Put your flesh away His fingers pierce my skin He licks his lips and pulls me in Out of breath Down dark alleyways I had to leave I couldn't stay On these streets I am not safe On these streets hungry eyes come out to play.
