Lyrics
Trampled Lilly
The lyric stays readable and compact here; the note and related paths sit nearby so you do not lose the song while looking for context.
One afternoon Lily was having an ice cream dream
A young man with a glossy moustache approached her ingratiating and clean
He took her for a walk in the park, inserted his finger in her... glove
He took her to his apartment and to her he made love
Trampled Lily, Trampled Lily
The next morning before going out he presented her with a ruffled peignoir of gin
After that each morning she read ladies’ magazines
In the afternoon she entertained gentlemen, gentlemen on her bed
The young man gave way to an older man with a heavy beard
Trampled Lily, Trampled Lily
Under the influence of a lecture from a passing senator she decided to reform
She was placed in a back bedroom with bars like a prison dorm
She gave birth to a defective infant placed in an orphanage overfull
And as she lost her freshness on the streets the punters she pulled
Trampled Lily, Trampled Lily
She was continually harassed by masculine women in black bonnets trying to set her free
And as she reached her twentieth birthday she died a loathsome disease
