The Nun's Litany Lyrics - Distortion - The Magnetic Fields

I want to be a Playboys bunny 

Id do whatever they asked me to 

Id meet people with lots of money 

And they would love me like I loved you 

I want to be a topless waitress 

I want my mother to shed one tear 

Id throw away this old sedate dress 

Slip into something a tad more sheer 

I want to be an artists model 

An Odalisque Au Naturel 

I should be good at spin the bottle 

While Ive still got something left to sell 

I want to be a cobra dancer 

With little Willie between my thighs 

I may not find a cure for cancer 

But Ill meet plenty of single guys 

I want to be a brothel worker 

Ive always been treated like one 

If I could be a back-street lurker 

Id make more money and have more fun 

I want to be a dominatrix 

Which isnt like me, but I can dream 

Learn S&M and all those gay tricks 

And men will pay me to make them scream 

I want to be a porno starlet 

For that Ill wait til Mamas dead 

Ill see my name in lights of scarlet 

And get to spend every day in bed 

I want to be a tattooed lady 

Dedicated as I am to art 

Character's bold, complex and shady 

Will write my memoirs across my heart
