Scorpion

Ten days back and twenty ahead
 I've been dragging my feet like I'm dragging the dead
 "Would you rather drag the living?" was all she said
 Now I drag her instead
 You better look up here at this light baby
 Everything's gonna be all right
 And everything's gonna be all right
 And everything's gonna be all right
 Don't bother pleading with the scorpion
 She's gonna get you night after night
 She's gonna get you night after night
 She'll get you every time
 I said this misery was worth his caress
 But now the twilight's coming, I'm feeling pressed
 Because ten paces south and twenty west
 Ah, Ah
 I'm buried under the "X"
 You better look up here at this light baby
 Everything's gonna be all right
 And everything's gonna be all right
 And everything's gonna be all right
 Don't bother pleading with the scorpion
 She's gonna get you night after night
 She's gonna get you night after night
 She'll get you every time
 I may have doubts but they won't blind me
 I always watch my back when she's behind me
 You know she'll never do the right thing
 She'd bite the devil if he wasn't hiding
 You better look up here at this light baby
 Everything's gonna be all right
 And everything's gonna be all right
 And everything's gonna be all right
 Don't bother pleading with the scorpion
 She's gonna get you night after night
 She's gonna get you night after night
 She'll get you every time
 Everything's gonna be all right
 And everything's gonna be all right
 And everything's gonna be all right
 Don't bother pleading with the scorpion
 She's gonna get you night after night
 She's gonna get you night after night
 She'll get you every time
