Poison Girl

“Rhine Side Gallery” as part of the Krefeld change of perspective under the artistic direction of Fredda Wouters from Kevelaer Kevelaer in coperation with Uerdinger Kaufmannsbund e.V. and city marketing Krefeld. 

We recommend to hear the song “Poison Girl” by Chris Whitley.

Moonlight over the alley
Baby where I come from
There's a poison girl, a poison girl
Sister do medicine business

Three dollar down for the gun
She's a poison girl, poison girl
I be waiting uptown
While she gone underground for a ride

I be waiting uptown
While she passes some trick on the side
Well I'm sitting here burning my money
Worth nothing if only to score

With some poison girl, poison girl
There's a place an' I know
Anybody can go for a price
There's a place an' I know

You be putting your soul up on ice
Well now mama sad son what's your hurry?
Mama don't know what I done
For the poison girl, poison girl
