spider woman
sooner or later youre certain to meet
in the bathroom； the parlor or even the street。。。
warden

for corrupting a minor： male！ serving third year of eight year sentence。。。
her name is aurora
molina
aurora； help me。。。i need you。。。e to me like you always have。。。
her name is aurora and she is so beautiful
no man who has met her can even forget her
theyre madly in love； forever in love
i see her so clearly； i know her so well。。。
she steps to her glass now
all almonds and roses
shes powered and pampered
the sight of her dark eyes
igniting the screen。。。
scorching the screen
prisoners
look at her radiance
see how she glows
look at her silken cheeks
pink as rose
tell us you secret madam
tell us please do
what is this happiness shining from you？
spider woman
so。。。you want to know。。。
why im aglow。。。oh！
last night
i went too see the gypsy
and oh the things she had to say
she told me i would meet a stranger
a lean； handsome hero
whod sweep in and sweep me away
i sat there trembling at the table
and smelled the incense in the air
someday youll hear a cry； she told me
a sharp piercing sound and when you look around
the love of your life will be there！
i cannot tell you how youll meet him
or when youll meet your love or where
but soon youll hear that cry； she told me
and youll look around。。。
prisoners
youll look around！
aurora
at that sharp piercing
pany
sharp piercing
sharp piercing
sharp piercing
sharp piercing。。。
over the wall i
prisoners
there are big busted woman
over the wall
over the wall
there are big busted woman
who bake on the beaches
with oil on their bellies
over the wall
over the wall
there is rum from the cane fields
over the wall
over the wall
there is sun on my taxi
and cakes in my oven
and fish in my netting
and grease in my barnyard
and big busted woman
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
and i wonder if ill ever see them again
spider woman
and the moon grows dimmer
at the tides low ebb
and your breath es faster
and youre aching to move
but youre caught in the web。。。
bluebloods
molina
do you know why they call royalty bluebloods？
well； i do！
they call royalty bluebloods
because their skin was so thin
that their veins showed through； blue！
there； thats something ive taught you
no need to thank me！
valentin
go to hell！
molina
any more that you ever thanked me
for nursing you through those first few days
when they first threw you in here
remember that？
valentin； meet molina； the resident queen！
well； i suppose some people are always
the ungrateful kind； like you；
to name a few！
you； you； you； you； you！
valentin
will you please shut up！
will you ever shut up？
cant you leave me alone？
theres a side of this cell
thats your own； with its own space
its own air。。。stay there！
dressing them up
molina
dressing them up
i love the dressing them up
the subtle tilt of a hat
touches like that
makes me the best of the lot
at dressing them up
i was the cream of the crop
the way i buckled the belt
folded the felt
helped me to get where i got
before i got where i got！
i was the absolute top
for example：
once i asked for a balenciaga scarf
to stuff in a mannequins purse
they told me； no one on earth will see！
i answered； no one on earth but me！
i stood my ground as no other dresser does
and darling guess what？ balenciaga； it was！
dressing them up；
i was the creme de la creme
as i adjusted each hem
i keep on dazzling them
at my particular store
which was the best in the town
youd never catch them wearing a frown
or catch them dressing me down
for my finesse at dressing them up
raise that skirt； just an inch or two
add some rouge； just a pinch or two
start the fan
no； much gustier
stuff that gauze
make her bustier
ooh！ that frock； too much red in it！
i would not be caught dead in it
well； they start out like hell
but i make them sell by
dressing them up
from earrings down to their boots
in evening dresses or suits
unlike some second rate fruits
at other second rate stores
which cant pare to my own
youll never catch them wearin a frown
or catch them dressing me down
for my finesse at dressing them up！
i had the touch。。。
thank you very much！
i draw the line
valentin
will you please shut up
will you ever shut up？
〃thank you very much！〃
youre making me sick
with that prissy whine
watch me now； i draw a line
so you stick to your side
and ill stick to mine
never； ever cross this line！
molina
fine！ but the pot；
how about the pot？
valentin
what about the pot？
molina
its on your side
valentin
so what？
molina
so when i have to use the pot
i intend to use the pot
valentin
so what； thats an exception
molina
oh； gracious one； thanks a lot！
valentin
so dont ever try to be
dont ever dream youll be
dont dare to think that youll
ever be some fairy friend of mine
cause no； no； no； no； no！
thats where i draw the line
molina
fine！
valentin
i draw the line
molina
fine！
valentin
i draw the line
molina
fine！

over the wall ii
prisoners
wheres the woman i call my wife？
waiting for me to resume my life？
guarding her ass with a kitchen knife？
or screwing the janitor
over the wall
where is the friend in the photograph
tender amigo who made me laugh
splitting the shit with me； half and half
is he taking good care of it？
over the wall
molina
so i sit on my coat and my memory whirls
as i think of the boys dressing up like girls
wearing too much mascara and phony pearls
over the wall
prisoners
where are the children who bear my name？
making a circle to play a game？
do they say to the neighbors im not to blame？
or spit at the thought of me？
over the wall
valentin
so i wait in my cell feeling half alive
sharing food with a rat； maybe four or five
while the rats with the power can all survive
over the wall
valentin and prisoners
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
over the wall
where you are
molina
when you feel youve gone to hell in a hand basket
and the world in which you dwells no paradise
aurora
ive some counsel i can give
you need but ask it
im so very glad to share this good advice
youve got to learn how not to be
where you are
the mo
