Magdalene's got scars from the back streets and bars.
Where the lust learns to lie, and the promises die.
She says, "There are no mistakes, my heart never breaks,
and when you're born you don't come with instructions."

Magdalene, she don't care with her two dollar stare.
She can get what she wants,  from her dives and her haunts.
She's one up in their game by making a name,
while the jukebox plays "Eve Of Destruction".

Magdalene never cries, so she says, but she lies.
A heart full of pain, another link in the chain.
Blames the world for her life, her addictions, her strife.
Says "I'd like to forgive, but why bother?"

When Magdalene was a child, raised battered and wild,
She tried to run from the ****, but there was just no escape.
Confusion set in when the book called it sin,
but it said to honor thy father.
