Slip around some universal corner

(Like a woman)
Slip around some corner  pick up the phone

(Like a woman)

She must build a fire next to the pay phone

Heat is the point  smoke on the receiver

Light up to its universal ringing

(Like a woman)
Picking it up  her heat finds the night and rises

And rises

She lets you in on her perfect secret
(Like a woman)
She wants a man who knows all the right places
(Like a woman)

Washing his feet with her tears she'd dry them with her hair

Among the undefiled  she's gone wild

Her sins will sin from behind her
(Like a woman)
Dropping the phone she leaves it dead to the dead men

The dead men
Screaming Magdalene
So alone  she picks up the phone
Screaming Magdalene
I'm so waiting  is there anyone so waiting
Screaming Magdalene

She is running

Slip around some universal corner
(Like a woman)
Slip around some corner  pick up the phone
(Like a woman)
She must build a fire next to the pay phone
Heat is the point  smoke on the receiver

Light up to its universal ringing
(Like a woman)
Picking it up  her heat finds the night and rises

And rises

Screaming Magdalene
So alone  she picks up the phone
Screaming Magdalene
I'm so waiting  is there anyone so waiting
Screaming Magdalene

She is running
