colin meloy – odalisque lyrics
they’ve come to find you odalisque
as the light dies horribly
on a fire escape you walk
all rare and resolved to drop
and when they find you odalisque
they will rend you terribly
st-tch from st-tch til all
your linen and limbs will fall
lazy lady had a baby girl
and a sweet sound it made
raised on pradies, peanut sh-lls and dirt
in the railroad culdesac
and what do we with 10 baby shoes
a kit bag full of marbles
and a broken billiard cue? what do we do?
what do we do?
fifteen st-tches will mend those britches right
and then rip them down again
sapling switches will rend those rags alright
what a sweet sound it makes
and what do we do with 10 dirty jews
a thirty-ought full of rock salt
and a warm afternoon? what do we do?
what do we do?
lay your belly under mine
you’re naked under me, under me
such a filthy dimming shine
the way you kick and scream, kick and scream
and what do we do with ten baby shoes
a kit bag full of marbles
and a broken billiard cue? what do we do?
what do we do?
lazy lady had a baby girl, and a sweet sound it made
