lyrics

Didn't come from shit - but saw a shitload,
sniff sold in the alley on a brick road.
Role models all following a strict code,
let your lips go then you're colder than the Winter snow.
Red scleras under steam punks;
she got them blunts looking like tree trunks.
Turn to cheap cider when the weed's done,
become a street fighter then the police come.
Shed another tear drop in an ocean,
her boyfriend's only desires beneath her clothing.
Always wondering the reason why he's snorting,
he beat her many times so she's needing an abortion.
But fuck that - she was contemplating all night,
no electric; coat hanger in the low light.
Then she saw a baggy, it was so bright;
the moment she became Snow White.

Baby boy in a kid's womb,
domestic abuse she'd have to live through.
Only sixteen with a kid soon,
but she just picked up a habit she can't live through. (x2)
Don't need - don't need,
don't think you're needing me anymore.
But I'll be here - here, I'll be here,
she's sniffing, sniffing, sniffing snow white.

Crack & caine, she'll never act the same,
sweating acid rain; he said it mask the pain.
Procrastinating with a bag of grade A,
won't pass away, the months past the eighth.
Now the baby punching like Cassius Clay,
trying to get out but Dad's having his way.
And if she said no - another a hand would get raised,
craving happiness again but that was back in the days.
Gotta get away, can't live with a man
who's fists handle business when he's pissed of the cans.
In that last month she was thinking of plans,
saving for a train & a lift in a cab.
In the back of the seat she was bridging the gap,
scared of being upfront having to sit with a man.
In her old house she flinched at her Dad,
shaking like her baby born addicted to crack.

Baby born out a kid's womb,
his Mum's decisions are what he lives through.
Sure enough he won't be a kid soon,
hoping he doesn't pick up a habit he can't live through. (x2)
Don't need - don't need,
don't think you're needing me anymore.
But I'll be here - here, I'll be here,
she's sniffing, sniffing, sniffing snow white.
