THE SCORPION LAMENT
Roches

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
