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
