Song Notes

It's about a woman with a heavy drug problem. It's about a person who has a vision, but this is a person who's distorting that vision with drugs and self destruction.
Billie Joe Armstrong (Q Magazine)

Lyrics
Little girl, little girl, why are you cryin'? Inside your restless soul, your heart is dyin' Little one, little one, your soul is purgin' Of love and razor blades, your blood is surgin' Run away from the river to the street And find yourself with your face in the gutter You're a stray for the Salvation Army There is no place like home when you got no place to go Little girl, little girl, your life is callin' The charlatans and saints of your abandon Little one, little one, the sky is fallin' Your lifeboat of deception is now sailin' In the wake (All the way!) All the way, no rhyme or reason Your bloodshot eyes will show your heart of treason Little girl, little girl, you dirty liar You're just a junkie preaching to the choir Run away from the river to the street And find yourself with your face in the gutter You're a stray for the Salvation Army There is no place like home when you got no place to go The traces of blood always follow you home Like the mascara tears from your getaway (Gloria!) You're walking with blisters and running with shears So unholy, sister of grace Run away from the river to the street And find yourself with your face in the gutter You're a stray from the Salvation Army There is no place like home
