Odalisque

The Decemberists

Composição de: Colin Meloy
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 
stitch from stitch til all 
your linen and limbs will fall 

lazy lady had a baby girl 
and a sweet sound it made 
raised on pradies, peanut shells 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 stitches 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
