Johnny he’s a real good guy, better watch your back,
Candi’s sweet as apple pie, she’s got that certain knack.
Toni he wont turn around, Jenny’s out too late,
Lil L don’t make a sound, Reaper’s on a date.

(I stare out my hotel window, drinking away my pain,
Reading Ponderosa Hotel reflected backwards in the rain.
The girls here are a sure bet, the candy for sale is sweet,
The buying and selling of every Soul out here on this street.)

The men with no traces come, seeking the innocent Randi,
Randi and Johnny have some fun, Blackmail feeds their family.
Jenny, she ran away, her daddy was all too kind,
Reaper likes to stay, Always preying on their Mind.

(Chorus)

Toni sells while Lil L, he’s always at his side,
Candi’s second sight can tell, if Money pays for the ride.
And as for me the seer, I am not even immune,
Though I may see it clearer, I am drunken by this Doom.

(Chorus)
