Lyrics

[Verse 1]

I met a woman with lips so red

A face so lined like spider webs

I’ll always remember the things she said

They were so wise, she opened my eyes and they’ll never close again

[Verse 2]

Oh, how she sighed when she stubbed her cigarette

I felt compelled to enquire of her success

How do you do? How can you be so in love with yourself?

Tell me please, 'cause I need help

[Chorus]

She said

Every time you are succeeding

There’s an old man somewhere, seething

And spite’s as good a reason to take his power

[Chorus]

When you hate the body you are in

Oh love, you’re acting just for him

As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower

[Chorus]

Our fear it lines his pockets love

So take that rage and bottle up

And put a drop into his cup of wine

[Chorus]

You don’t need him, you don’t need me

With that poisoned bottle you’ll be free

But be damn sure you don’t mix it up with mine

[Verse 3]

I met a young girl with eyes so bright

She was already getting sick of life

Her arms were laden with his merchandise

She asked me why I no longer try and waste my time

and I said spite

[Chorus]

‘Cause every time you are succeeding

There's an old man somewhere seething

And spite’s as good a reason to take his power

[Chorus]

When you hate the body you are in

Oh love, you’re acting just for him

As he counts his gold and green in his ivory tower

[Chorus]

Our fear it lines his pockets love

So take that rage and bottle up

And put a drop into his cup of wine

[Chorus]

You don’t need him, you don’t need me

With that poisoned bottle you’ll be free

But be damn sure you don’t mix it up with mine

Be damn sure you don’t mix it up with mine

[Outro]

I met a woman with lips so red

Always remember the things she said
