How Things Get Done

from Cloudcatcher by Kevin Blight

about

Nasty, bitter, vindictive song. In the style of Bob Dylan.
Based upon a real life situation....

lyrics

She does the horizontal Rumba, She loves to dip you in a Salsa
She takes you through a vertical cha-cha
That's how she got the job
She'll ride you in a passionate Tango
She's lethal as a poisonous Mambo
An actress in a beautiful Bolero that's how she kept the job
That's how things get done round here

She winds the clock of your fixation
Just below the level of predation
Not above a little degradation that's how she keeps the job
Stiffens resolve when spirits are flagging
Don't pay attention when the tongues are wagging
Says it's OK when the flesh is sagging
That's how she keeps the job
That's how things get done round here

You could call her a cat on a hot tin roof
Not burdened with brains but she's gifted with youth
THAT's wasted on the young, now 'aint that the truth
That's just the way it goes
One day she'll be another loser on the slide
With eyes that are faded and hips just too wide
Just a matter of waiting for the turn of the tide
And I'm waiting, and I'm watching ...
That's how things get done round here
