Death of a Midwest Hooker

I drove a long way
Across the mountains, through the snow
They used to call me Lil' Jo
Ordinary, happy father
Perfect neighbour, lavish lover
I judge a book by its cover

What happened that day?
I don't know what to say
The beauty in her eyes
I think I got confused
She wore such pretty shoes
A rag doll in disguise

Say your prayers, don't try to run
Now they'll know who's the lil' one

Don't look away
I'm not done anyway
Who do you think you are?
All I need is affection
I never had attention
Just hold me in your arms

I walked a long way
Until I saw him in the snow
He said his name was Lil' Jo

Honky fellow, dull and plain
I see those weird guys by the dozen
And today I was on the game

What happened that day?
I don't know what to say
The frenzy in his eyes
I'm not sure that I cried
He wore a muddy gown
A devil in disguise

I said a prayer and tried to run
Smothered by the ‘lil' one’

It was a sunny day
A man was on my way
He took my breath away

Delphine, la chanteuse, ajoute une touche féminine douce et incisive. Une guitare, une basse, une batterie, une voix. Et du gros son ... more
