She don't ride a pale horse
or a white Corvette,
but she's got legs like a wild mare
and curves like a Corvette.
She won't take you by force,
but you'll beg to be her pet.
I've got the whore,
the Whore Babylon blues.
She destroyed my body
to get at my brain.
She destroyed my body
to get in my mind.
She plays vicious games
of the cruel to be kind.
I've got the whore,
the Whore Babylon blues.
The way she makes me crave,
it's voodoo, understand.
The way we misbehave,
it's voodoo, understand.
She whispers precious slave
with my skull in her hands.
I've got the whore,
the Whore Babylon blues.
She's touched death so many times
a twitch of fear won't pass her.
She's touched death so many times
the smell of blood won't phase her.
And I know my heart beats faster
when I catch her
staring down the edge
of my razor
I've got the whore,
the Whore Babylon blues.
