The Scorpion Lament

The Roches

Intro: verse 1 Stood on the street the other night In full moonlight Barefoot and, oh, dirtied My dress was going away verse 2 There I was meeting up with a man For the payoff Faithful and unexpected I somewhat recollect 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 doing out on the street? I'm ashamed, dear Good boy, he beats it I tear myself downtown verse 4 God has let me release a sting In my own eye Walk home to just nightmares No angels on the phone Soon she heard me Siren she wailed Queen spelling bee, she nailed me By name It's not alright with me
