Scheherezade

Scheherazade, you’re such a pistol.
You’re skipping the qualifying rounds and going straight for the big test.
You’ve got some balls, Scheherazade.
You must be bored, Scheherazade.
You’re young, and you don’t even know to be afraid yet.

Keep talking. Keep talking.
You’ve got that golden tongue.
Keep talking, keep talking, tell us another one.

It’s a father’s job to tell you you’re going to suck.
To tell you to stay home. You’re going to fuck things up.
He’s got to keep you safe until the boredom makes you run
So safe until even a possible beheading looks like fun

He gave no choice to you, what were you supposed to do.
Twiddle your thumbs and act like now’s not the time to be dumb.
He gave no choice to you, what were you supposed to do.
It’s a every daughter’s job to say, no dad, that’s enough.

Keep talking. Keep talking.
You’ve got that golden tongue.
Keep talking, keep talking, tell us another one.
