Laura Stevenson
The Mystic and the Master
The mystic and the master
With her plaster cast
She wraps and she sets until
Steady with her band saw
Buckled down on the desk
Bite your tongue if you can
Cause she loves you 'til she shrinks and she thins
Like a violet in a violin
And she’ll paint you a shiny porcelain tooth
Like the one that hangs in hunch
From her second man's sucker punch

She don't know what she came for
Dyes her hair blonde cause it blends with the grey
And she’ll drag her little girls to church to learn forgiveness
Cause there were those that sought to hurt them
Flinch not as your boss undoes your bra
Because you need your job
Growing out of clothes and the little one is in piano
Because someone's gotta carry it on

The mystic and the master
With her plaster cast
She wraps and she sets until
Steady with her band saw
Buckled down on the desk
Bite your tongue if you can
Cause she loves you 'til she shrinks and she thins
Like a violet in a violin
And she'll paint you a shiny porcelain tooth
Like the one that hangs in hunch
From her second man's sucker punch
