She's the fallen leaf
Of an unnamed tree
She wanted palm trees' shadow
But shivers on the sidewalk
The wind howls and there's no gold
The night is dark and she feels cold
There ain't no romance
In the city of love
Ain't nothing but crooked minds
And crying doves
The wind howls and he feels old
A car stops and she feels cold
To the west, from the east
Money's a wild beast
Blond and naked, she's a slave
Like a warm peak in an ice cave
He hates his work
Wants to forget his wife
Cheap thrills have no taste
Nor does his life
He took white gold, his blood runs fast
Now he feels old, he didn't have a blast
To the west, from the east
Money's a wild beast
Blond and naked, she's a slave
Like a warm peak in an ice cave
To the west, from the east
Money's a wild beast
Blond and naked, she's a slave
Like a warm peak in an ice cave
She had a home
Now she has a hole
Tears rolled down his face
He didn't care if she cried
Dead memories, eating her inside
She killed a fool, she loved a foal
To the west, from the east
Money's a wild beast
Blond and naked, she's a slave
Like a warm peak in an ice cave
To the west, from the east
Money's a wild beast
Blond and naked, she's a slave
Like a warm peak in an ice cave
To the west, from the east
Money's a wild beast
Blond and naked, she's a slave
Like a warm peak in an ice cave
