elizabeth swados - song of a child prostitute lyrics

no one treats me like miko do
he buys me halter tops and corkies
and he got me a water bed
up on our flat on avenue c between 5th and 6th

he built gratings and has a shepherd named duke so we’re safe
all miko says is that we leave in a free generation
and the man and the woman go into mutual enterprise
and s+x is a business like kitchenware
lucrative, prosperous, and even humanitarian
if some middle+aged dude is freakin’ out because he can’t get a loan for his family
i can make him feel like a daddy
i can make him feel like a daddy

miko says “a lay’s the game”
when i was a kid my parents would check on me before they chewed up
and i’d pretend to be asleep
miko says it’s the same
just pretend you feel good
just pretend you feel good

mostly everything works like clockwork
and i’ll be miko’s number one girl forever
or at least until i’m 16 and can get my learner’s permit
to drive to montana to be a rancher
but for now it’s not bad sitting, minute’s a stretch
to be someone’s dolly
to be someone’s daughter
to be someone’s sister
to pretend to be glad
to pretend to be glad

if the digital stopwatch that miko bought me keeps working
i stay out of trouble
legs open at one, close at seven
i’m safe ’cause miko steals pills from a medical warehouse
i open at one, close at seven
if i ever go overtime, might catch h+ll
once i met a guy
he was a sailor
he was 18, he had acne, he was very sweet
he didn’t do anything
he asked me if i could go to ohio to live with his mother
when i asked miko
he laughs at me
he said there’d be no more waterbed
no more grass
no more pills in bright colors
he said i couldn’t even be number one again
how could i be after i’d hurt him so bad
he needs me
he needs me

he’s made a deal to reward me
he’s raising my percentage
he met a producer and now i’m going to movies
i’m not yet 13 and i can still go on a kid
and then he touched me like college+type actors
i pretend i’m a movie star
i pretend i’m an actress
i pretend i’m a college ball queen
