She sold her love to a modern man

Good solid currency′s the hardest to land

All of that money helps you cover your assDon't let the ladyfinger blow in your hand

Did it all

For that dollar

She′s a star tonight

Without warning

She gave up the ghost inside

Just like a whiskey bottle, drained on the floor

She got no future, just a life to endure

This good Samaritan is shakin' her hand

Too late to leave here, now the song's in the can

Give it up

For that dollar

She′s a star tonight

Without warning

She gave up the ghost inside

You call it chivalry, never pull a punch for free

You ever wonder why they had to move on?

This phony honour code that put you on your throne

A double standard you invoke when you want

For that dollar

She′s a star tonight

Without warning

She gave up the ghost inside

Was it all for show?

Don't turn into one of them

Turning another page

Trust me, darling

I′m carving a moat through the dust in your town

Crawling over rubble

Just to serve you

Tend to wonder why
