Odalisque Lyrics - Castaways And Cutouts - Decemberists

They've come to find you, Odalisque 

As the light dies horribly 

On a fire escape, you walk 

All rare and resolved to drop 

And when they find you, Odalisque 

They will rend you terribly 

Stitch from stitch, 'till all 

Your linen limbs will fall 

Lazy lady had a baby girl 

And a sweet sound it made 

Raised on pradies, peanut shells and dirt 

In the railroad cul-de-sac

20 Classic Christmas Lyrics to Celebrate The Holiday Season 

And what do we do with ten baby shoes? 

A kit bag full of marbles and a broken billiard cue? 

What do we do? 

What do we do? 

Fifteen stitches will mend those britches right 

And then rip them down again 

Sapling switches will rend those rags all right 

What a sweet sound it makes 

And what do we do with ten dirty Jews? 

A thirty-ought full of rock salt and a warm afternoon? 

What do we do? 

What do we do? 

Lay your belly under mine 

You're naked under me, under me 

Such a filthy, dimming shine 

The way you kick and scream, kick and scream
