lirik lagu sphinx – syd straw
my sphinx is a jinx she’s had too many drinks
stodd on too many brinks and got the shove
she speaks in riddles ’cause that’s just the way
she thinks she’s taken too much abuse from
above
i ask her point blank just too see if she blinks
was she ever seduced or in love
she tells me i’m talking just like one of
her shrinks and she touches my mouth
with her glove.
i was in love she admits but we were opposites
in a bttle of wits to the end in a series
of seizures and violent fits that were
mostly make belive and pretend oh and
isn’t it hard when it finally hits
that your lover is less than a friend
and all your exchanges are just poor
counterfeits for tender too precious to spend
(- the yarn interlude – “fate would find that
she wasn’t looking when her luck ran in” -)
i woke up in the dust cross-eyed and
concussed my eyes tried to adjust to the light
sphinx was on trial for betrayl of trust
her trial had lasted all night you know
i could not remember what we discussed
my mind wasn’t functioning right but i knew
the judge was a jerk and the jury was
just 12 men in search of a fight
anything you say can and will be held
against you —
they sentenced my sphinx
to unsatiated l-st some say
the sentence was light
my sphinx is a d-mn jinx.
