Headed out or hanging on the ranch, them girls mean business them girls all stand a chance Who are you to judge all circumstance? I'm in no hurry to supply to that demand, and if we're not doing business, there's no charm in shaking hands Ooh but where the love, you'd say...it's hidden in my heart, the country, cities far away and what is love that doesn't pay off in some way? Isn't really health to have it any other way Swinging by the west coast with my man He's such an old man, can't stand without his medicine Who'd have thought I'd be making friends? Friends and acquaintances to lend a helping hand, and if we're just doing business there's no harm in making plans Ooh but where the love, you'd say...it's hidden in my heart, the country, cities far away and what is love that doesn't pay off in some way? Isn't really health to have it any other way If you thought once or twice you might of thought about it all the time Wanna do something else? Do it for yourself All fears and worries on a shelf I'm doing really rather well I'm doing well, I'm doing really rather well Doing well, doing well, doing really rather well In a city far away In a city far away In a city far away In a city far away

Simone 03:24
When business gets slow Simone goes to Lowell Massachusetts and walks on the track works in the back Everybody who's met her knows she whispers to god, god is a pharaoh winks at the corners and laughs at the ceiling who really knows just what Simone's thinking? Oh Simone.... Where on earth did that girl go? What's she like in the sack? Who's that man who keeps bringing her back? When business gets slow Mercedes takes a nap on the sofa just lying out back trying to keep track The first time I et her she put on a show screaming at Harley and lying on the floor with one heel lit up, and one breast exposed Who really knows how Mercedes gets going? Oh them ShoGirls hos.... Where on earth did all them girls get to? Nashua, Boston and back Driving all night Driving real fast

I gotta bunch of rubbers I gotta burner number I gotta hotel, ads on Backpage and I'm setting up shop Coming to your town! Yeah come and get me while you can boys let's get down I got the Internet I'm really into it I'm posting screening booking Weeding out the dickheads and cops It's a full time job I swear these online classifieds reduce my harm Don't go telling me that using my body to make my money ain't a right god gave me now You wanna help me? Great, well you can start by calling off your laws and cease assailing me The rescue industry it wants to rescue me and take away the tools I use to stay safe saying their helping me well I disagree all of this white knight savior shit is killing me Don't go telling me that using my body to make my money ain't a right god gave me now You wanna help me? Great, well you can start by asking how I want it and I'll tell you for myself Don't go telling me that using my body to make my money ain't a right god gave me now You wanna help me? Great, pray tell me... Do you plan to pay my rent and feed my kids and spay my cat and call off all the debt collectors, tell the judge to clear my record so I can work for ever and ever and ever... at dead end jobs for minimum wage that barely cover the day to day assuming that they'd hire me some folks don't like the look fo me Could you create a policy to put and end to bigotry? Or better yet create a net to catch me? Don't go telling me that using my body to make my money ain't a right god gave me now You wanna help me? Great, well you can start by asking how I want it and I'll tell you for myself Don't go telling me that using my body to make my money ain't a right god gave me now You wanna help me? Great, well you can start by calling off the dogs and quit behaving like you're trying to choke me out

Siren Song 03:08
Inside of me are island breezes Hot molten jelly springs You better believe it When you do me you will see galaxies of stars, and hot island breezes will drift into your heart When you do me you will see galaxies of stars, and hot island breezes will drift into your heart Oh you'll wanna be exactly who you are, and get little red cherries tattooed on your arm Get little red cherries tattooed on your arm

Moonlighting 01:58
Three strip clubs in the state of Vermont Where can a boy go get his rocks off? Where can a girl make a couple of bucks? Aww, Planet Rock The Wrap and Jacks That's what we've got I'm gonna wade down in the river creek Gonna kneel in the water one smile deep May catch a cold, so I'm told The muds gonna wash right over me Hilary! Muds gonna cling to the soft hairs on your body Eleanor, she won't come no more Don't want to get to dirty You don't want nobody's money Not like me up in my tree I'm S E L L I N G turning like a maple leaf Two strip clubs in the state of Vermont Where can a boy go get his rocks off? Where can a girl make a couple of bucks? Aww, Planet Rock and Captain Jacks That's what we've got I'm gonna walk out in the fridid night Gonna climb that hill one miles high Twist my knee, golly fee The Moon's gonna shine right down on me Laura Lee! Moon's gonna lick that soft skin on your body Eleanor, she won't come no more Don't want to get to girly You don't want nobody's money Not like me up in my tree I'm B A N K I N G Squirrel away a nut or three One strip club in the state of Vermont Where can a boy go get his rocks off? Where can a girl make a couple of bucks? Aww, Planet Rock and bachelor pads That's what we've got
