I woke up in Montecito I was thinking about my life And the questions made more questions Staring out into the night
Yes, I’ve worn the golden g-string Put my hand into hellfire I did it all to make you love me and to feel alive
Oh, that’s just the world that we’re living in The old boys hold all the cards And they ain’t playing gin You dare to call me crazy Have you looked around this place? I should walk away Oh, I should walk away But I think I’ll stay
There are layers to this body Primal sex and primal shame They told me I should cover it So I went the other way I was trying to own my power Still I’m trying to work it out And at least it gives the paper something they can write about
