She left home when she was just seventeen
Too many ghost, too many ugly scenes
See, in the city at night everything's pretty under disco lights
She found herself a dangerous man
She went lookin' for a reason, lookin' for a reason
She called herself Nikki 'coz that's what the boys seemed to like
And Crazy Nikki became a good place to hide
Her life was fun and games, anonymous lovers and lines of cocaine
Hanging from her balcony
She was lookin' for a reason, lookin' for a reason
She's lookin' for a reason for the things she'd done
Lookin' for a reason, trying to understand
She's lookin' for a reason, the way she live her life
Lookin' for a reason out of pinhole eyes
She's lookin' for a reason, lookin' for a, for a
Lookin' for a reason
She's lookin' for a reason, lookin' for a, for a
Lookin' for a reason
He sits alone staring at the terminal glare
He wonders if she's still out there somewhere
For twenty years she's been his go-to girl
Now she's another man's wife, she's another man's world
But she kind of still looks the same
And he's lookin' for a reason, lookin' for a reason
Lookin' for a reason
Lookin' for a reason, lookin' for a reason
Lookin' for a reason, lookin' for a reason
