Cherry Road - Jo Davidson

music and lyrics by jo davidson

on cherry road house 1202 
there's an interesting woman who paints male nudes 
she spreads their legs til it's almost crude 
and she paints a full frontal
view

the men in the neighborhood think she'd warped
she does what men have done for centuries in the name of art 
she has her reasons but she cannot say 
who could understand anyway 

some of her models have gorgeous physiques
some have bodies that look quite weak 
some make her lust and laugh and cry
some are to live for some are to die 

they feel her anger like a torrid rain 
she positions her models that they feel her pain 

she undoes shirts and undoes pants 
she unzips zippers with the bare of her hands 
she sees their bodies and it makes her whole 
as she laughs at the state of her soul 

rage is the palette passion the brush 
the canvas shutters when it feels her touch 
black is the beauty blue is the pain 
and she mixes the two like the clouds mix rain

on cherry road house 1202 there's an
interesting woman who paints male nudes 
she spreads their legs til it's almost crude 
and she paints a full frontal 
view.
