The Tiger Lillies Poor Lulu song lyrics

Dancing with a mask

In corruption basks

The lowest of the low it's true

A fake marquis there

On whores' children we stare

And over there a pimp or two

Alva got no hope

Just another dope

And the odd free screw

And Lulu stands her ground

She's lost but she is found

And Alva not a thing can do

Now in Montmartre, lovely Lulu basks Found a house of much ill-fame

And now Alva Shun was her husband

A lame dog in all but name

Alva is at hand, he is such a fan

He your hand does lick

Follows you like dogs

You're the machine he's a cog

As you move from trick to trick

Like a dog he pants, he is impotent

And he can't you save

Down and down,

the spiral it is round leading

to your grave

That nasty pimp in there

Will grab her by the hair

Alva knows she's screwed

Her father he she killed

But he stays with her still

To her he is glued

Alva's got no hope

Just another dope

For the odd free screw

Her destruction and her doom

You know they're coming soon

Alva not a thing can do

Destruction now waits

You're standing at its gates

Alva not a thing can do

For poor Lulu
