Samo and Grace
Cake Bake Betty Lyrics


Jump to: Overall Meaning ↴  Line by Line Meaning ↴

Samo and Grace,
Where do you live?
Is it under my foot?
Is it over my lips?

Samo and Grace,
What can you give?
And where will you wed?
It's not enough to give.

Cause nobody saw you,
Give birth into the night,
So Samo and Grace,
If you touch my face,
You gotta know I'm still alive.
Just to know I'm still alive.

Samo and Grace,
How long's it been?
Since your baby faced death,
Is it wearing you thin?

Samo and Grace,
Got a thick old chin,
Got a bucket of soap,
Got a reason to sin.

Cause nobody saw you,
Give birth into the night,
So Samo and Grace,
Can you touch my face,
You gotta know I'm still alive.

And nobody saw you,
Destroy your Mr. Right.
So Samo and Grace,
Can you save me a space,
Well, it'll help me to survive.

And the old pig's crow,
This is what I'm told,
When the rocks break up,
And their faces go,
And the grass is wet,
Like my old speedboat,
This is where I've been,
In the sleepin' tent,
All your diamonds shine,
What a feel good time,
Gotta add a little lemon to my turpentine,
When the bodies land,
You won't understand,
I gotta make you a woman,
Gotta make me a man,
Gotta make me a man,
Gotta make make make make -

Samo and Grace,
Did you check upstairs?
There's a man in your tub,
But he says he's not there.

Samo and Grace,
Where's your old armchair?
I don't know who you are,




But I'll see you out there.
I guess I'll see you out there.
