The Roches

The Roches - The Scorpion Lament lyrics

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

IT'S NOT ALLRIGHT WITH ME

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
