The Debutante Hour — Scheherezade lyrics

Lyrics

Scheherazade, you’re such a pistol
You’re skipping the qualifying rounds and going straight for the big test
You’ve got some balls, Scheherazade
You must be bored, Scheherazade
You’re young, and you don’t even know to be afraid yet
Keep talking. Keep talking
You’ve got that golden tongue
Keep talking, keep talking, tell us another one
It’s a father’s job to tell you you’re going to suck
To tell you to stay home. You’re going to fuck things up
He’s got to keep you safe until the boredom makes you run
So safe until even a possible beheading looks like fun
He gave no choice to you, what were you supposed to do
Twiddle your thumbs and act like now’s not the time to be dumb
He gave no choice to you, what were you supposed to do
It’s a every daughter’s job to say, no dad, that’s enough
Keep talking. Keep talking
You’ve got that golden tongue
Keep talking, keep talking, tell us another one
