The Jesus Lizard - Tale Of Two Women lyrics

She helped her son sleep by giving him Cognac

She worked a while as a circus acrobat

She changed lovers on a weekly basis

And posed nude for a couple crap artists

Her boy's disintrest in women

Led her to hire him hookers

One of whom he fell in love with

A fat tramp nearly twice his elder

Once a year for the rest of his life

He pryed for his mom on her death's anniversary

Leaving paradise

Living paralyzed

Happily anesthetized

Counting alibis

Learning to despise

Happily anesthesized

This one takes care of her ankles

Her cooking has "that good flavor"

When she purses her lips on purpose

You can see the smell climb of them

She wasn't trying to be judgemental

Though her work makes one think she was

In her world that's a black and white world

Blood is ink and skin is paper

A Swiss army quill can perform miracles

In the hand of one so spiritual

Leaving Paradise

Living paralyzed

Happily anesthesized

Counting alibis

Learning to despise

Struggling against recovery

Leaving Paradise

Living paralyzed

Happily anesthesized
