Lola R. For Ever [Lola Rastaquouère] lyrics

How do you dare talk of love

if you’ve never known Lola Rastaquouère1

she thought she was a he, he thought she was a she

but neither of them knew really

Lola Rastaquouère Rasta... x4

Crossing her legs around the fireman's pole

a shabby cat-house, the happy few

stripper on a string, foot in the queue

you hand two weeks wages for the ultimate view

Lola Rastaquouère Rasta... x4

Cyclops' eye in the middle of your head

an Oedipous complex dug deep in the sea

and when all's been done and nothing’s been said

you leave the joint and roll to sleep

Lola Rastaquouère Rasta... x4

You run your fingers through her hair

between you and me her lips don’t give a damn

she’ll go down on you still breathing air

the sun starts to rise, so do you, if you can...

Lola Rastaquouère Rasta... x4

Rasta... x4

If you can...

Lola Rastaquouère Rasta... x6
