Blood Orange - Desirée Lyrics






[Woman:]
... later because of the fact that we're waiting for the working girls to get there

[Jennie Livingston:]
And what is it those girls are doing?

[Woman:]
Well, they're making money for the balls, or they're making their costumes, their outfits, or you know getting
Getting it together like that

[Jennie Livingston:]
What is their profession?

[Venus Xtravaganza:]
Something like that...
At times they do expect sexual favors, but that is between myself and them
So I do not wish to further speak about that
If they do, but at most times 99% of the time they don't
95% of the time they don't...

(Desirée)
(Desirée)

Dance cause it's your thing
Say that you got time for two
This is me in New York
(Desirée)
Is anyone your friend?
Or lovers that turn up at 2
I cannot stay in New York
(Desirée)

Can you really think it's fine or cool
When you're still on your go?
Maybe it's a chance for me to go and finally be alone
Can you really think it's fine
Or cool when you're still on your go?
Maybe it's a chance for me to go and finally be alone

[Venus Xtravaganza:]
If you're married... a woman in the suburbs...
A regular woman is married to her husband
And she wants him to buy her a washer and dryer set
In order for him to buy that
I'm sure she'd have to go bed with him anyway
To give him what he wants, for her to get what she wants
So in the long run, it all ends up the same way

(Desirée)
(Desirée)
