lyrics

A long time ago in a black sedan
Was a crooked face on a crooked man
He brought a bundle back home from overseas

In the deepest part of the deepest South
Was circus tent and a restless town
Outside the name on the sign that read “TONIGHT SCHEHERAZADE”

Scheherazade
Scheherazade
You’re attractive as a lightning rod
Scheherazade
Scheherazade
You’re a blessing and a curse from God
Everybody likes a little taste of poison

The air was heavy and thick
People sitting on the edge of their seats
They were looking for S-E-X - man, you could melt from the body heat

Then Tom Thumb plays a bugle and drum
And says everybody “Here she comes”

Scheherazade
Scheherazade
You’re attractive as a lightning rod

Scheherazade
Scheherazade
You’re a blessing and a curse from God
Everybody likes a little taste of poison

They were laying in a pile of lust
Swimming in a river of sweat
She took their money and laughed

This was a lesson they would never forget
For every one of the seven vails you’ve got to pay a price

Scheherazade
Scheherazade
You’re attractive as a lightning rod
Scheherazade
Scheherazade
You’re a blessing and a curse from God
Everybody likes a little taste of poison
