Tenement Lady Songtext

von T. Rex

Words & Music by Marc Bolan
Recorded by T.Rex, 1973

Ow!
Tenement Lady,
Stone drug mama.
Street hawk stone heart.
Mind that sweetly falls apart.
Sudden Sid groove lid.
Sharp as a dark park.
Pickle pump peeper.
Mind that sweetly falls apart.
Count Lurch hearse head.
Prince of the snip-snaps.
Got a pierced ear mind fear,
Of the sailors with their perfume.
Molly mouse dream talk.
Gin house milk shake.
She steals my magazines.
She's a laser lipped lover yeah.

She's a laser lipped lover yeah.

Tenement Lady.
Stone drug mama.
Street hawk stone heart.
Mind that sweetly falls apart,
Yeah.

Oh my darling there are many ways to,
Love you.
Under sheets of silk,
I slyly peep at you.
People on the street,
Call out your name.
The giants and the dwarves,
All call the same.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah.

Oh my darling there are many ways to,
View you.
To me you're almost like,
A hammer and screw.
People on the street,
Call out your name.
The giants and the dwarves,
All do the same.
Oh yeah, Oh yeah,
Ohhh yeah.
