Lyrics for Ladies of the Road (Robert Fripp/David Singleton Remix)

A flower lady's daughter As sweet as holy water Said, "I'm a school reporter" "Please teach me" and I taught her Two fingered levi'd sister Said, "Peace", I stopped I kissed her Said, "I'm a male resister" I smiled and just unzipped her High diving Chinese trender Black hair and black suspender Said, "Please me no surrender" "Just love to feel your Fender" All of you (know) that the (girls) of the (road) Are like apples we stole in our youth All of you (know) that the (girls) of the (road) Been around the number tell the truth Stone-headed Frisco spacer Ate all the meat I gave her Said would I like to taste hers And even craved the flavour "Like marron-glaced fish bones Oh, lady, hit the road!" All of you (know) that the (girls) of the (road) Are like apples we stole in our youth All of you (know) that the (girls) of the (road) Been around the numbers tell the truth Ladies of the road Ladies of the road Ladies of the road Ladies of the road Ladies of the road Ladies of the road Ladies of the road Ladies of the road
