MISTER SLOANE (Bonny)

First our name was Boudreau,
And then daddy died and left us alone,
And then mommy married again to a man,
And our name became Sloane

Sloane says I must call him father,
And gave me a bird that sings,
But I wasn't listening

We moved to the desert,
I don't like it here,
I fear the presence of snakes,
I know they're out there

Got a boyfriend whose fourteen like me,
And his name is John Luke,
And if a snake up and bit him on his other arm,
He'd lose that one too

John Luke is teaching me from pictures how the body's fire,
Is like a prayer to hell,
And how to cast a spell

And I will never love you Mister Sloane,
I will never love you Mister Sloane,
And I'll go on and on and on,
Until you're gone and gone and gone,
Until you're gone Mister Sloane

Mommy says when two people lie together it's called wedlock,
John Luke says when a man and woman roll together it's deadlock,
When there's a moon, John Luke says take a willow branch,
And call Satan, come here I'm going to beat your skin

I seen you Mister Sloane in the doorway,
Watching me in my bath,
I will never call you father,
My father is in heaven,
And I am his Holy wrath

One night when you're drinking alone in the Li-bary,
I will come to you and show you what I do

And I will never love you Mister Sloane,
I will never love you Mister Sloane,
And I'll go on and on and on,
Until you're gone and gone and gone,
Until you're gone, Mister Sloane
