I Became a Prostitute Lyrics

there's a girl in the crowd
and she's bawling her eyes out
only girl in the town
with her fingers in eyelids

and we're all fine
in the back of your mind
if we do what we like
then we could be with you tonight

if we bleed you dry

we're alright in the back of our minds
if we do what we like
then we could be with you tonight

if they bleed you dry
taken half the tide
taken all your tide

if we bleed you dry

bleed you dry
we're taken half your tide
if we bleed you dry

you are the bearer of a womb without love
you could have had it all
is that what you said
is that what you said on a low ride
you said stay in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

you are the bearer of a womb without love
you could have had it all
is that what you said
is that what you said on a low ride
you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

there's a hand in the till
still believing what she sells

only girl in the town
with her fingers in eyelids

we're all fine in the back of your mind
if we do what you like
then we could be with you tonight

if they bleed you dry
taken half the tide
taken all your tide

you are the bearer of a womb without love
you could have had it all
is that what you said
is that what you said on a low ride
you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

you are the bearer of a womb without love
you could have had it all
is that what you said
is that what you said on a low ride
you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

bleed you dry

Mapped By What Surrounded Them

there's a girl in the crowd
and she's bawling her eyes out
only girl in the town
with her fingers in eyelids

and we're all fine
in the back of your mind
if we do what we like
then we could be with you tonight

if we bleed you dry

we're alright in the back of our minds
if we do what we like
then we could be with you tonight

if they bleed you dry
taken half the tide
taken all your tide

if we bleed you dry

bleed you dry
we're taken half your tide
if we bleed you dry

you are the bearer of a womb without love
you could have had it all
is that what you said
is that what you said on a low ride
you said stay in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

you are the bearer of a womb without love
you could have had it all
is that what you said
is that what you said on a low ride
you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

there's a hand in the till
still believing what she sells

only girl in the town
with her fingers in eyelids

we're all fine in the back of your mind
if we do what you like
then we could be with you tonight

if they bleed you dry
taken half the tide
taken all your tide

you are the bearer of a womb without love
you could have had it all
is that what you said
is that what you said on a low ride
you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

you are the bearer of a womb without love
you could have had it all
is that what you said
is that what you said on a low ride
you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

Keep it true to the song

Fix what’s wrong, but don’t rewrite what the artist wrote. Stick to the official released version — album booklet, label site, verified lyric video, etc. If you’re guessing, pause and double-check.

Respect the structure

Songs have rhythm. Pages do too. Leave line breaks where they belong. Don’t smash things together or add extra empty space just for looks.

Punctuation counts (but vibe-editing doesn’t)

Correct typos? Yes. Re-punctuating a whole verse because it ‘looks better’? Probably not. Keep capitalization and punctuation close to the official source.

Don’t mix versions

If you’re editing the explicit version, keep it explicit. If it’s the clean version, keep it clean. No mashups.

Let the lyrics be lyrics

This isn’t the place for interpretations, memories, stories, or trivia — that’s what comments are for. Keep metadata, translations, and bracketed stage directions out unless they’re officially part of the song.

Edit lightly

If two lines are wrong… fix the two lines. No need to bulldoze the whole page. Think ‘surgical,’ not ‘remix.’

When in doubt, ask the crowd

Not sure what they’re singing in that fuzzy bridge? Drop a question in the comments and let the music nerds swarm. Someone always knows.

awesome, awesome song. Only correction is, I think it's "time" not "tide". This new album is so so good.

I copy pasted the lyrics from their forums, where they were posted by the lead singer. I also thought it was "time" at first.

from the official lyrics booklet:

there's a girl in the crowd and she's bawling her eyes out

only girl in the town with her fingers in eyelids

and we're all fine in the back of your mind if we do what we like then we could be with you tonight

if we bleed you dry

we're alright in the back of our minds if we do what we like then we could be with you tonight

if they bleed you dry taken half the tide taken all your tide

if we bleed you dry

bleed you dry we're taken half your tide if we bleed you dry

you are the bearer of a womb without love you could have had it all is that what you said is that what you said on a low ride you said stay in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

you are the bearer of a womb without love you could have had it all is that what you said is that what you said on a low ride you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

there's a hand in the till still believing what she sells

only girl in the town with her fingers in eyelids

we're all fine in the back of your mind if we do what you like then we could be with you tonight

if they bleed you dry taken half the tide taken all your tide

you are the bearer of a womb without love you could have had it all is that what you said is that what you said on a low ride you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

you are the bearer of a womb without love you could have had it all is that what you said is that what you said on a low ride you said in your hands you'll stay, all with me today

Is it definitely 'you are a bearer of a womb without love'? I always thought it was 'you are a bairn of a womb without love', as in the Scottish word for baby/child. Makes a lot of sense.

Totally agreed. The album version is amazing, but the acoustic version sends chills up and down my spine for 4 minutes straight.
