(Cale) [Reed]

Lady Godiva here dressed so demurely
Pats the head of another curly hair boy, just another toy
Sick with silence she weeps sincerly
saying words that have oh so clearly been said
so long ago

Draperies wrapped gently around her shoulder
Life has made her that much bolder now
that she's found out how

Dressed in silk, latin, lace and envy
Pride and joy of the latest penny fair
pretty passing care

Hair today now dipped in the water
Making love to every poor daughter's son
isn't it fun

Now today propping grace with envy
Lady Godiva peers to see if anyone's there
and hasn't a care

Doctor is coming the nurse thinks [sweetly]
turning on the machine and [neatly pump air]
the body lies bare
Shaved and hairless what once was [screaming]
now lies silent and [almost sleeping]
the brain must have gone away

[Strapped securely to the white table
ether caused the body to wither and writhe]
underneath the white light

[Doctor arrives with knife and baggage
sees the growth as just so much cabbage]
that must now be cut away

[Now comes the moment of Great! Great! Decision!
The doctor is making his first incision!]
One goes here - [one goes there]

The ether tube's leaking says someone who's sloppy
[Patient it seems is not so well sleeping]
The screams echo up the hall
Don't panic someone give him pentathol instantly
Doctor removes his blade
cagily slow from the brain
[By my count of ten -
the head won't move]
