I've been living on the wrong side. Of the law. For so long. I don't know which side I am on. . And every hand I shake. Is shaking me down. For a hard-luck song.
All hail the Virgin Mary. Whatever happened to her?. Dark sails upon her black seas. She be heaven on earth. . Ooh, there's perfect girl eleven. In the swimsuit test.
The devil done got me. Though the doctor tried to spare me. I'm living on candy now. Got down on my bad knee. To the drip-drip of i.v.. Won't someone hold me as I die?.

Lover loves me. But he loves somebody new. Lover wants me. To be his mother too. He don't recognize. His luck until his luck is through. . He's a nightingale.
