Taylor was a good girl, never want to be late,
complain, express, ideas in her brain,
working on the night shift, passing out the tickets,
you're going to have to pay her, if you want to park here,
well mommy's little dancer has a quite a little secret,
working on the streets now, never going to keep it,
it's quite an imposition, but now she's only wishin,
that she would have listened to the words they said ...
Poor Taylor...She just wanders around, unaffected by,
the winter winds, well she'll pretend that, she's somewhere else,
so far and clear, 'bout 2000 miles from here ...
Peter Patrick pitter-patters on the window,
but Sunny's silouette won't let him in,
and poor old pete's got nothing, 'cause he's been falling,
and somehow Taylor# knows, just where he's been,
he thinks that singing on sunday 'gonna save his soul,
now that saturday's gone, well sometimes he thinks that he's on his way,
but i can see, that his brake lights are on...
He just wanders around, unaffected by,
the winter winds, yeah and he'll pretend that, he's somewhere else,
so far and clear, 'bout 2000 miles from here ...
she says she's a tough encilada, fill up with nada,
givin' what you gotta give to get a dollar bill,
used to be a limber chicken, time's a been a ticken,
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...taylor's gonna run away ....
complain, express, ideas in her brain,

Anyways either way I don't think this song is about child prostitution although I think she's young, so I wouldn't say he's admitting to that, just that these girls 90% of the time have had something go wrong even in a "perfect" upbringing like Taylors and we know we have taken advantage of them even though they are of legal age and fully consentual.
Like all interpretations they are open to the interpreter and probably seen through the interpreters filters ;) Also my spelling and grammer is my interpretation so there!
So Taylor is a girl who has big dreams, but she couldn't fulfill them so she turns to prostitution or stripping in order to make a living (well mommy's little dancer has a quite a little secret,
working on the streets now, never going to keep it)
Peter is a married man who sleeps with Taylor. His wife finds out and throws him out (Peter Patrick pitter-patters on the window, but Sunny's silouette won't let him in). Peter thinks by going to church will fix his problems, but it doesn't ( he thinks that singing on sunday 'gonna save his soul)
So now Taylor and Peter are two lost souls wandering around trying make sense of their new lives.
And to all the people who are trying so hard to defend this song and say it's not about a prostitute:
It's okay for a good song, which this very much is, with a really mellow easy going riff, which this has, to be about something sad or depressing. Every time I hear this song, even after I finally decided to take this stance, I think of my little sister and always will. I say that my sister is Taylor's dream of herself and Jack's Taylor is my sister's nightmare.
- I think that line is about people who do bad things all throughout the week and then on Sundays go to church thinking that they are going to be saved
