Tale Of Two Women

Jesus Lizard


She helped her son sleep by giving him Cognac 
She worked a while as a circus acrobat 
She changed lovers on a weekly basis 
And posed nude for a couple crap artists 
Her boy's disintrest in women 
Led her to hire him hookers 
One of whom he fell in love with 
A fat tramp nearly twice his elder 
Once a year for the rest of his life 
He pryed for his mom on her death's anniversary 
Leaving paradise 
Living paralyzed 
Happily anesthetized 
Counting alibis 
Learning to despise 
Happily anesthesized 
This one takes care of her ankles 
Her cooking has "that good flavor" 
When she purses her lips on purpose 
You can see the smell climb of them 
She wasn't trying to be judgemental 
Though her work makes one think she was 
In her world that's a black and white world 
Blood is ink and skin is paper 
A Swiss army quill can perform miracles 
In the hand of one so spiritual 
Leaving Paradise 
Living paralyzed 
Happily anesthesized 
Counting alibis 
Learning to despise 
Struggling against recovery 
Leaving Paradise 
Living paralyzed 
Happily anesthesized
