This was inspired by a glimpse of the abandoned Holyoke T Station, just outside Harvard Square in Cambridge, MA.It appears on my 1986 recording, "Reruns."
Fallen Angel
© 1985 Brian Hutzell
A subway stop no longer used
Perfect for our rendezvous
Here we can't be seen or heard
But we can see the people stirring
In the cars as they fly by
A motel room in tame compared to this
Did you bring the child for me?
Perfect for the final scene
Is she willing, does she know
Pelvis high and profile low
Another year she'll be too old
It'll be a cinch to mark her sold
Fallen Angel
You could be my daughter or my wife
Drugs will keep you happy as you
sacrifice your life
Fallen Angel
On the bright side, you could be a star
Think about your family life
You're better where you are
Fallen Angel
Don't be a stranger
Fallen Angel
Don't forget who made you
Honey, they all want to see
A child lose her virginity
Could it be that we're too late?
Already caught you masturbating
You just need encouragement
And your performance makes the cameras
wet
Fallen Angel
You could be my daughter or my wife
Drugs will keep you happy as you
sacrifice your life
Fallen Angel
On the bright side, you could be a star
Think about your family life
You're better where you are
Fallen Angel
Don't be a stranger
Fallen Angel
Don't forget who made you
We didn't teach you anything new
We gave you your film debut
As you mature, you outgrow
Those of us you left below
I read about you in the gossip columns
Gee, it makes me proud
It's nice to know you're doing well
Now we could use a little help
We possess the negatives
It seems you've no alternative.
Beauty, talent on the screen
Cocaine in your limousine
You afford these luxuries
Maybe we should increase our fee
Meanwhile critics sing your praise
And fans compete to guess your middle
name
Fallen Angel
You could be my daughter or my wife
Drugs will keep you happy as you
sacrifice your life
Fallen Angel
On the bright side, you could be a star
Think about your family life
You're better where you are
Fallen Angel
Don't be a stranger
Fallen Angel
Don't forget who made you
Fallen Angel
Don't be a stranger
"Rose"
