Girl Nation

(album: No Fuel Left For The Pilgrims - 1989)

I had a ticket to fly so I boarded the plane
When a combat dressed stewardess was shouting my name
I'm wanted alive, yeah, I'm in for a trial
It's minimum mercy 'cause they found my file

Hijacked and kidnapped and trailed and trapped
They fly me in, I'm gonna pay for all of my sins
Now it begins

Yeah, I've found place where girls eat men
Now I'm back in girl nation again

A girl nation
Female civilization
A girl nation
Female civilization

It's a female tale, it's hard to use words
But I'm landed and stranded among oysters and birds
Bad bush and dangerous curves
Bad boys get what they deserves

Wild sisters dancing all night (round that totem)
With a knife to my throat (round that totem)
Yeah, they're chanting the oath

Singing 'bout mama all through the night
Around that totem of the red light

In girl nation
Female civilization
A girl nation
Female civilization
A girl nation

By interstellar navigation
Sweet female persuasion
Globetrotting to ladyland
Back where time began

One wild second then I was down
One full circle, they stood all around
Counting my bones waiting to be dead
When a soft loving hand lifted my head
Tender lips kissing my chin and whispering:
"Honey, where have you been?"

In girl nation (totem of the red light)
Female civilization
In girl nation (totem of the red light)
It's a female civilization
Girl nation (totem of the red light)

By interstellar navigation
Sweet female persuasion
Globetrotting to ladyland
Back where time began
In girl nation
