The Scorpion Lament Lyrics

    (by margaret a. roche)


    Stood on the street the other night
    In full moonlight
    Barefoot and oh dirtied
    My dress was goin' away

    There i was meetin' up with a man
    For the payoff
    Faithful and unhenpecked
    I somewhat recollect

    Soon she heard me
    Siren she wailed
    Queen spelling bee she nailed me
    By name

    What am i doin' out on the street?
    I'm ashamed dear
    Good boy he beats it
    I tear myself downtown

    God has let me release a sting
    In my own eye
    Walk home to just nightmares
    No angels on the phone
