They say Taylor was a good girl
Never one to be late
- At first innocent
Complain, express ideas in her brain
Working on the night shift
Passing out the tickets
You're gonna have to pay her, if you wanna park here
- Often one to speak up and think for herself but she’s stuck with menial work
Well, mommy's little dancer has quite a little secret
Working on the streets now, never gonna keep it
- Participates in prostitution to make money
It's quite an imposition and now she's only wishing
That she would have listened to the words they said
Poor Taylor
She just wanders around, unaffected by
The winter winds, and she'll pretend that
She's somewhere else, so far and clear
- Regrets not heeding the advice of her parents to stay in school for example
About two thousand miles from here
- She longs for Hawaii
Well, Peter Patrick pitter-patters on the window
The sunny silhouette won't let him in
Poor old Pete's got nothing, cause he's been falling
- Peter is a patron of Taylor’s who has fallen in love with her but to her he’s just another patron, she is the warm silhouette in what is described as a cold environment and he’s coming to terms with the fact it’s unrequited love
Somehow, Sonny knows just where he's been
- Sonny is his wife who knows what he’s been up to
He thinks that singing on Sunday is gonna save his soul
Now that Saturday's gone
Sometimes he thinks that he's on his way
But I can see that his brake lights are on
- He tries his best to turn his life around after finding his love being one sided and his wife knowing what he has been up to
He just wanders around, unaffected by the
Winter winds, and he'll pretend that
He's somewhere else, so far and clear
About two thousand miles from here
- He dreams of Hawaii
Such a tough enchilada, filled up with nada
Giving what she gotta give to get a dollar bill
- Back to Taylor regretting her decisions and now does what she has to to make money
Used to be a limber chicken, times have been a tickin'
Now she's finger lickin' to the man
With the money in his pocket, flying in his rocket
Only stopping by on his way to a better world
If Taylor finds a better world
Then Taylor's gonna run away
- Taylor enters a transactional relationship with a rich man for his money, ready to run away whether situation improves
In all it speaks of regret and unrequited love, Taylor’s manipulation of others for personal gain, and the tragedy of Peters’s situation
