Wide Open (Foreword)

Are you lost, little girl?
 Where's your mama? (Good grief)
 Skin thick as bricks
 Was it karma? How old are ya?
 Watch your back, watch your step
 Watch your weight, watch your words too
 They'll come at you with their teeth
 And their rhinestone-covered sheaths
 Word of warning
 Straighten up
 Tie your shoelaces up
 There's never time to warm up when the jungle cools down
 It's a goddamn cornucopia
 Of your serpents and your scorpions
 When you fall asleep baby, keep an eye wide open, hmm
 Keep an eye wide open, hmm
 All the wolves lick your cuts clad in Prada
 With white grins, and tight grips
 Blood oaths and loose lips
 Smokin' stardust
 Act like some pilgrims
 Sing like some psalmists
 Kiss like it's harmless
 I hope you listen
 There're too many demons
 So girl, don't you give in
 To all of the voices around you saying you can
 Spread your wings only if you spread those legs first, huh
 That's the bread and butter of this place
 Bitches with butterknives at the ready to
 Spread the word to save their pretty face
 So let these words be your saving grace
 There's a much longer trail to blaze
 And it's ours
 (So straighten up)
 Kamikaze
 Don't get sloppy
 Don't get sloppy, mmm
 (So straighten up)
 And keep an eye wide open, mmm
 Keep an eye wide open, mmm
