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
