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
