Odalisque

They've come to find you, Odalisque
As the light dies horribly
On a fire escape you walk
All rare and resolved to dropAnd when they find you, Odalisque
They will rend you, terribly
Stitch from stitch 'til all
Your linen limbs will fallLazy lady had a baby girl
And a sweet it made
Raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt
In a railroad cul-de-sacAnd 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?Fifteen stitches will mend those britches right
And them rip them down again
Sapling switches will rend those rags alright
What a sweet sound it makesAnd what we do with ten 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
Naked under me, under me
Such a filthy dimming shine
The way you kick and scream, kick and screamAnd what do we with ten baby shoes
A kit bag full of marbles
And broken billiard cue?
What do we do? What do we do?
