Roches - The Scorpion Lament lyrics

rate me

Stood on the street the other night<br />

in full moonlight<br />

barefoot and oh dirtied<br />

my dress was goin' away<br />

<br />

there I was meetin' up with a man<br />

for the payoff<br />

faithful and unhenpecked<br />

I somewhat recollect<br />

<br />

soon she heard me<br />

siren she wailed<br />

Queen Spelling Bee she nailed me<br />

by name<br />

<br />

IT'S NOT ALLRIGHT WITH ME<br />

<br />

what am I doin' out on the street?<br />

I'm ashamed dear<br />

good boy he beats it<br />

I tear myself downtown<br />

<br />

God has let me release a sting<br />

in my own eye<br />

walk home to just nightmares<br />

no angels on the phone
