lyrics

I was talking to Chuck in his Genghis Khan suit
And his wizard's hat
He spoke of his movie and how he was making a new sound track

Then we spoke of kids on the coast
And different types of organic soap
And the way suicides don't leave notes

We talked of Loraine, always back to Lorraine


I was speaking to Phil who was given to pills and small racing cars
He'd given them up since his last crack-up had carried him too far

Then we spoke of movies and verse
And the way an actress held her purse
And the way life at times can get worse
We spoke of Loraine, always back to Lorraine


She's a wild child. No one can get at her
She's a wild child. No one can get to her
She's standing on the streets, all alone
Without a house or a home until she begs you, please
Oh, baby, can I have some spare change
Oh, can I break your heart?

I was talking to Betty about her auditions, how they made her ill
Life in the theater is certainly fraught
With many spills and chills
But she'd come down after some wine
Which is what happens most of the time
Then we both spoke in rhyme
We spoke of Loraine, it's always back to Lorraine

I was speaking to Ed who'd been reported dead by a mutual friend
He thought it was funny that I had no money to spend on him
So we shared a piece of sweet cheese
And spoke of our lives and our dreams
And the way things come apart at the seams
We spoke of Lorraine, always back to Lorraine

She's a wild child, and no one can get to her
She's a wild child. No one can get at her
She's standing on the streets, all alone
Without a house or a home until she asks you, please,
Oh, baby, can I have some spare change
I wanna break your heart!

She's a wild child
She's a wild child
She's a wild child
She's a wild child
