Oh, these women In their heels and mini-skirts With their painted youth dripping from their faces; Oh, these fruits of the city, These sumptuous, soft, plump, self-destroying Women that need devouring - God, can't you help them? You made them this way, Hung them in your garden From Eve's forbidden tree, Gave them sweet juice and lust to be consumed; Only to plant the seeds of knowledge In the dumb beast who eats them. Oh these damning fruits of the city, Who bring forth generations of saccharine poison By nature of their trade, Oh, these women In their heels and skirts, They were born to be condemned.

Oh these damning fruits of the city, Who bring forth generations of saccharine poison By nature of their trade, Oh, these women In their heels and skirts, They were born to be condemned.
