She don't belong, with her cinnamon toast and her licorice tea
(she's conversing with squirrels and crows at the top of the tree)
Mother's sitting in the yard,
waiting for her motorcycle man,
and the child that they made,
has her ear to the door...
Beat her down with a book,
beat her down with a book,
on her backside, on her backside.
Beat her down with a book,
Beat her down with a book,
on her backside, her backside
So what if her colors and patterns don't match?
So what if she likes to change her mind?
So what if she sleeps under a shrub?
The views not necessarily better from above.
She don't belong,
with her cinnamon toast and her licorice tea
she's conversing with squirrels and crows
at the top of the neighbor's tree
Mother's sitting in the yard
waiting for her motorcycle man.
Where is your child, don't you leave her.
I think I saw her over there in the corner?
Is she marking the sidewalk,
With chalk for hopscotch?
Or a submarine diver
in a sea of bubbles?
Stealing flowers for mother,
or some make believe lover,
building some kind of fort
some quiet, "Cookies? I'd be delighted!"
Look where you are
you're fragile but you're strong
she don't belong,
she don't belong,
Sometimes I see her conversing
with squirrels and crows.
Mother's in the yard
waiting for her motorcycle man.
beat her down, beat her down,
beat her down,
never you mind, never you mind
you can't keep her,
you can't keep her in line.

Lyrics:
Marietta out on the dance floor
Marietta in a black dress
Another Friday night in El Paso
She’s gonna make some new friends fast
(Oh, she’s gonna make some new friends)
Marietta out on the corner
Marietta out on the town
Marietta in negotiation
She’s gonna lay the rules
Of this dirty game down
(She’s gonna lay it down)
Love for money
It’s just a commodity
Love for money
Don’t you know
Everyone’s got needs?
Marietta prays to be rescued
Marietta prays to be saved
Marietta waits to confess her sins
In the light of the day
In the light of the day
She knows what she wants
She don’t waste her time, yeah
She gets to the point
Oh, she keeps you in line
Keeps you in line
Marietta,
Ah, Marietta
Marietta shows you such a good time
Marietta gets the job done
But you know she’s got to pay her bills
So, she’s got to love someone
She knows what she wants
She don’t waste her time, yeah
She gets to the point
Oh, she keeps you in line
Keeps you in line
Marietta, Marietta, oh, Marietta
