Simon Says

By: Adrienne

Downtown whores

in ancient vices

Beauty Queens

at discount prices

Ashes to ashes

dust to shame

go back to the earth

from which they came

Cadarac Razor blades

lining satin beds

But nobody ever did

what Simon said

About her Benezine

Nicotine

rock-a-by the cradle

sugar coated arsenic

served up in a ladle

There's a fly in the ointment

clean linen on the bed

Vivian Leigh-gonna live again

kissably soft & divinely dead

nobody ever did what Simon said

Spider's got the fly

tisket and a tasket

she can't get out

unless she's in a casket.

Bubble Boy banging on the

big back door

while her rock n' roll

Messiah's on the kitchen floor

These a fly in the ointment

clean linen on the bed

Vivian Leigh-gonna live again

kissably soft & divinely dead

nobody ever did what Simon said

Everything is pretty

in the different lives we've lead

you can find the rosary

behind the voices in your head

Just between the idol and the worshipper

just between the writer and the dancer

between the crucifix &the pentagram

you just have to find the answer

to

the

southern fried philosophy

chicken feed bread

Nobody ever did what Simon said

Nobody ever did what Simon said

Nobody ever did what Simon said

what Simon said

what Simon said
