You’re My Lady Now

Whoa, the lights of the city
Sparkle like diamonds
They dance like a harlot
Into the dawn
She was an angel of mercy
A vision of heaven
On earth in this garden
Of concrete and stone
She stands on the corner
Spins on her toes
Tight skin and satin
Of shimmerin' gold
Sells her young body
To feed his mad soul
He was born with
A silver spoon in his nose
He said, "You're my lady now
Girl, you're my lady now
Lady, lay down
Yes, you're my lady now
Yes, you're my lady now
Girl, you're my lady now
You're so lovely
In your satin gown."
He sits on a corner
In shoes made of snakeskin
Taylor-made silk
And a custom-built Rolls
Oh, his eyes are like midnight
And his teeth are like daggers
He speaks from the bottomless
Depths of his soul
"Oh, you're my lady now
[Humming.]
Yes, you're my lady now
Oh, you are so lovely
In your satin gown."
Yes, the lights of the city
Sparkle like diamonds
Down from the country
And into the town
She was so lovely
And so sure to be climbin'
A ladder that would take her
Right into the ground
