about

Betrayed by her unfaithful lover, Lorraine rushes blindly into the night, city scape swirling around her. She stumbles on her lover in a seedy nightclub embracing his man and in a rage she stabs him...lightly... with a bad aim. Nevertheless, she is jailed and the press want her story..this is it, my listener friends..the story of Lorraine.

lyrics

Lorraine

She had a boyfriend named Bobby
He treated her so bad..
He took Lorraine for a ride, promised to make her his bride
but his intentions were selfish
He took what he wanted and lied

So she pulled on her fishnet stockings,
swallowed her foolish pride
Went on a drunken binge, became slighty unhinged
Unplugged her Atari computer

Now she's lost in the rain, oh Lorraine
She's lost in the city, in this town that had no pity for Lorraine
Little lost in the rain, oh Lorraine
Little lost in the rain, oh Lorraine

Sped off in a fast car, saw a film by Renoir
ended up at a place called Billie O's
saw Bobby dancin' there with Frankie Joe, his buttocks bare
She stuck with a knife as they embraced

Now she's up for attempted murder and a minor celebrity
It wasn't very long before the press approached her
She said my conscience is clear, the day of judgement is here
and I only wish that that old knife had been 5 inches longer...

Now she's lost in the rain, oh Lorraine
She's lost in the city, in this town that had no pity for Lorraine
Little lost in the rain, oh Lorraine,
Little lost in the rain, oh Lorraine

And right there in her cell she consulted a psychic
who told her very many things that she already knew
Began a slow climb up the penitential ladder
Inspired by a pamphlet from some whole gospel church

Had a minor operation for a cancerous growth
At the death of a major poet took a solemn sacred oath
Lost her best friend in an accident, too much chlorine in the poop
Acquired immune deficiency, life can be so cruel..
hmmm, yes it can...

She had a boyfriend named Bobby
He treated her so very bad
