Over the Wall II Lyrics by John Kander

Kiss of the Spider Woman (Original Cast Recording)

0

[PRISONERS]
Where is the woman I call my wife?
Waiting for me to resume my life?
Guarding her ass with a kitchen knife?
Or screwing the janitor over the wall?
Where is the friend in the photograph?
Tender amigo who made me laugh?
Splitting the shit with me half and half?
Is he taking good care of it?
Or stealing my share of it over the wall?
[MOLINA]
So I sit on my cot and my memory whirls
As I think of the boys dressing up like girls
Wearing too much mascara and phony pearls
Over the wall
[PRISONERS]
Where are the children who bear my name?
Making a circle to play a game?
Do they say to the neighbors I'm not to blame?
Or spit at the thought of me over the wall?
[VALENTIN]
So I wait in my cell, feeling half alive
Sharing food with a rat, maybe four or five
While the rats with the power can all survive
Over the wall
[ALL]
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall
Over the wall!
