about

I know, I know, it’s such a cliché—everyone has a “God-depicted-as-prostitute” song. But this one is mine.

lyrics

I am the harlot at the side of the road, and I will lighten your heaviest load. Please do not listen to my keepers, they lie. They’ll rob you of pleasure and they won’t tell you why. / Don’t listen to them, they will tell you I’m good. But I’m not good, baby. I just did what I could. No, don’t listen to them, they will tell you I’m just. But I’m not just, baby. I just love you so much. / They’ll sell my body to anyone who will pay. But I’m not for sale, baby. I just give it away. I am the harlot, and if you seek my abode I will be waiting at the end of your road.
