The Scorpion Lament Lyrics - The Roches

Stood on the street the other night 

In full moonlight 

Barefoot and oh dirtied 

My dress was goin' away 

There I was meetin' up with a man 

For the payoff 

Faithful and unhenpecked 

I somewhat recollect 

Soon she heard me 

Siren she wailed 

Queen spelling bee she nailed me 

By name 

What am I doin' out on the street? 

I'm ashamed dear 

Good boy he beats it 

I tear myself downtown
