Lady In Black

Yodelice

Silent howling in the night   
I like my satin black  
Blacker than the knife   
Thrust in my back   

Seeking for a beam of light   
In this city of haste   
My life cast aside   
As toxic waste   

Silk and flowers   
Ripped of my flesh   

Betrayal and sadness   
Booming in my chest   
Stumbling in my best dress   
On Lowest Wacker drive   

Unseen and forsaken   
One lost Puerto Rican   
My heart and heels broken   
On Lowest Wacker Drive   

Silent howling in the night   
I like my satin black   
Blacker than the knife   
Trust in my back   
 

Seeking for a beam of light   
In this city of haste   
My life cast aside   
As toxic waste   
 

Silk and flowers   
Ripped of my flesh   
 

The past is filming over   
Memories foam and lather   
Your words melt in my tears   
On Lowest Wacker Drive   
 

I’ve loved and I’ve seen   
The price of self-esteem   
Ta daring, the loathing   
On Lowest Wacker Drive   
 

Silent howling in the night   
I like my satin black   
Blacker than the knife   
Trust in my back   
 

Seeking for a beam of light   
In this city of haste   
My life cast aside   
As toxic waste   
 

Silk and flowers   
Ripped of my flesh   
 

Rolling under my feet   
The tarmac cries and weeps   
Your heat is my call sheet   
On Lowest Wacker Drive
