The Scorpion Lament

Lyrics

[Verse 1] Stood on the street the other night In full moonlight Barefoot and oh dirtied My dress was goin' away [Verse 2] There I was meetin' up with a man For the payoff (Payoff, payoff) Faithful and unhenpecked I somewhat recollect [Chorus] Soon she heard me Siren she wailed Queen Spelling Bee she nailed me By name It's not alright with me [Verse 3] What am I doin' out on the street? I'm ashamed dear Good boy he beats it I tear myself downtown (I tear myself, I tear downtown) [Verse 4] God has let me release a sting In my own eye Walk home to just nightmares No angels on the phone [Chorus] Soon she heard me Siren she wailed Queen Spelling Bee she nailed me By name It's not alright with me (It's not alright with) It's not alright with me (It's not alright with) It's not alright with me (It's not alright with) It's not alright with me (It's not alright with) It's not alright with me (It's) It's not alright with me
