Carla Bley & Paul Haines - Over Her Head lyrics

LEADER (in rain): Over her head a greasy flag its stripes a grin about her hips Its stars lettuce seeds she says she'll use to have her candy washed. 'hotel lobby band' Is she really supposed to do what she pretends to do under circumstances she can't imagine? GINGER (slowly coming to grips with being grabbed by the lips): High on ice cream and not melting Mouths to feel but not be felt LEADER: With no kissing beneath the belt! Women kept naked in the rain their honor miraculously afloat big ragged sunflower climbing c*nts GINGER: What she can't stand MEN: What - stand WOMEN: What she can't stand YODELLING VENTRILOQUIST: What she can't stand GINGER: he doesn't want MEN: he - want WOMEN: he doesn't want YODELLING VENTRILOQUIST: he does not want GINGER: Holding her down MEN: Hold - down WOMEN: Holding her down YODELLING VENTRILOQUIST: Holding her down GINGER: she holds him up MEN: she - up WOMEN: she holds him up YODELLING VENTRILOQUIST: she holds him up GINGER: Something implicit in the time - WOMEN: Something implicit - MEN: Something - GINGER: - in the unsightly poultry - WOMEN: - in the unsightly poultry - MEN: - in her - GINGER: - of her eyes WOMEN: - of her eyes MEN: - eye. LEADER: Ginger a pale saucer GINGER: Singing to mice born dead in traps GINGER & LEADER: Contemplating suicide as protection from fraud Escalator over the hill.
