Peruvian Lady

(album: First Offense - 1983)

I'm sitting here and I'm wasting time
There jumps Jack, across the power line
Sitting here and I'm losing time
Lacquered faced, and I can't read the sign
Am I living like a double man?
Re-arranging my master plan

She's your Peruvian lady
And she'll drive you down
Peruvian lady
And she'll bust your crown
Peruvian lady
Watch your mirror smile
Peruvian lady
Is the queen of the guile?
Away, I said take her away

I'm living here like Ghengis Khan
The weak man, fighting the meeker man
I'm sitting here and I'm asking time
To slow down, so I can save my mind
Am I living like a double man?
Re-arranging my master plan

Yes, she's your Peruvian lady
And she'll drive you down
Peruvian lady
And she'll bust your crown
Peruvian lady
Watch your mirror smile
Peruvian lady
Is the queen of the guile?
Away, I said take her away

Yes, she's your Peruvian lady
And she'll drive you down
Peruvian lady
And she'll bust your crown
Peruvian lady
Watch your mirror smile
Peruvian lady
Is the queen of the guile?
Away, please take her away
Peruvian lady
Peruvian lady
She'll bust your crown
Peruvian lady
(Peruvian lady)
Queen of the guile
Yeah
Peruvian lady
