It was cold and there was snow on the ground
Wood stoves were burning all over town
I was told, look for the tavern nearby
With hot music playing into the night
There she stood, busy making their drinks
Caught in the hustle with no time to think
Lookin' good, caught working night after day
She was too old to leave it, too young to stay
With her head in the clouds
Her feet on the ground
She sleeps with one eye on the prize
She gets low to get high
Aurelie knows what it's like
Long ago, she left her family behind
Went into the city to see what she'd find
Feelin' bad, she found her cure in a pill
If the sickness don't kill her, the medicine will
With her head in the clouds
And her feet on the ground
She sleeps with one eye on the prize
She gets low to get high
Aurelie knows what it's like
Aurelie knows what it's like
Aurelie knows what it's like
Aurelie knows what it's like (She's got it bad)
Aurelie knows what it's like (Cold to the bone)
