the poet and the courtesan - cockroach prophets lyrics

you say how much you miss the times
when you used to have these dreams
where you served something
we both knew
existed
yeah, you always wanted to be
somebody’s daughter
well, we all need something to serve
don’t we, sister

now you have more gold than i could ever spend
in my trade we would drink where you
washed yourself this night
but i am ashamed
you see it, you always do
you have to throw what you
brought for me
pack it up like lunch for me
turn off the light for me
yeah, you always knew
how to treat ’em right

you tell me how you loved me once
whenever you get drunk
how i was an obsession
and now when decent things are scarce
how i am in this
your only posession
now, i’ve always loved all the daughters of eve
but once i was held by the mother
you always did like older men, you see
me being the only
exception
you tell me of these men you meet
who are so much better
you tell me that it’d just
break your heart if they’d leave you, babe
you tell me of these guys who are just like me
and how they’re never, ever
quite like me

you tell me we’re just like the poet
and the courtesan
from that story you read
when you were just a kid
i ain’t no poet, babe
i’m just someone
who knows you, babe
who knows you, babe
