Scorpion Woman
Lyrics

I can’t say no, to you

You’ve got me under your thumb

What am I gonna do?

Will my freedom ever come?

I’ve tried bribing you

But money’s not your thing

See what I’m going through

There’s so much poison in your sting

-

SCORPION WOMAN

IT’S TIME I BROKE THESE CHAINS

NOW I’M RUNNING

RUNNING FROM THE PAIN

SCORPION WOMAN

I’M FREE, I HAVE NO MASTER

SEE ME RUNNING

RUNNING EVEN FASTER

-

I just can’t hide, from you

You see and know it all

When I’m gone, you’ll find

Another man to maul

And I can’t lie, to you

I’m sure you won’t be fooled

Whatever happened to

The men you used and ruled?

-

SCORPION WOMAN

IT’S TIME FOR ME TO GO

WHEN WILL YOU REALISE

I’M NOT UNDER YOUR CONTROL

SCORPION WOMAN

I WILL NOT PLAY THIS GAME

YOU’RE A DANGER AND

YOU NEED TO BE RESTRAINED

-

People can’t condone

The way you’re treating me

You must be so alone

You must lack the sense to see

That I will sneak away

You won’t ever hurt me again

But I’ll be back some day

To end your violent reign

-

SCORPION WOMAN

IT SEEMS THE TIDE HAS TURNED

I’LL SUCK THE POISON OUT

BY NOW YOU SHOULD HAVE LEARNED

DON’T PLAY WITH FIRE NOW

THERE’S FIRE IN MY HEART

I WATCH YOU SHRIVEL THEN

YOU SLOWLY FALL APART

We've all encountered the bitch from hell at some point in our lives, and I decided to write a song about her. It follows the path of someone initially cowed by her, eventually coming to realise that he doesn't have to put up with her crap anymore.

I wrote Scorpion Woman aged 16, before I found my first girlfriend, so it's about a generic woman rather than a specific person. It's one of three songs on this album that I'm particularly fond of (the others being Fight For Your Life and Slippery Sunday.)
