Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
your daddy's out drinkin’
your momma's close to breakin’ down
Kickin’ stones across the street
with your dirty clothes and your dirty feet
Pram wheels and rusty nails
go carts with imagined vapour trails
cold soup on a rainy day
gutter child will always find a way
Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
gladiator with a trash can lid
lemonade for your red hot face to swig
Chief pow wow what’s his name
play pretend to stop you goin’ insane
Pram wheels and rusty nails
go carts with imagined vapour trails
cold soup on a rainy day
gutter child will always find a way
Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
Gutter child you’ll be alone tonight
your playground is the dirt
and it helps to cover all the hurt
On an old torn feather bed
sleep and dream of better times ahead
Pram wheels and rusty nails
go carts with imagined vapour trails
cold soup on a rainy day
gutter child will always find a way
oh yes he will
always find a way
