Cityscape Skybaby

She came in smelling of cabbages

Pumpkin roots and all winter's ravages

She came in around dawn, took her coat off

Burdened down by the Russian winter

Felt the warmth of the hearth

Bathed a while naked in hot water

Wash away imminent disaster

Thinking through her today and the murder

Of the bailiff and landowner

Felt no shame, only gain

Cleansed the pike, peeled all the potatoes

Beetroots ripe for bellies of gigolos

Served it up for her son and her daughter

For the last time she imagines

Reprobates lie in wait

Baby, bye bye

Bye bye, baby

Skybaby

Bye bye, baby

Sweet vigilante

Bye bye, baby

Skybaby

Bye bye, baby

Sweet vigilante

Baby, bye bye
