We were, we were, we were lovers   We had no one   But armed puppets      We were touching   We were turning   We were eighteen   Get to learning      Saw your mother at the river washing ribbons    Saw her sip, saw her sip the East River      I've seen laid men up and walking   I've seen deaf and dead men talking      And I have had enough of trouble   I've been paid in full and double      Barricade glass against the table   Break it farmers if you're, if you're able      I went dancing with my sister   Call her madam, call me mister      She wore a dress; it was nice and something    Underneath her dress was slipping      She did curse it, she did keep it   She said she did something stupid      I said: who's the master, Mira?   I can't kill or catch a fly dead      Point me in the right direction   Point me to the middle section      And I have had enough of trouble   I've been paid in full and double      Barricade glass against the table   Break it farmers if you're, if you're able      Barricade glass against the table   Break it farmers if you're, if you're, if you're able
