Madame Ray
David Abel

These haunting treetops seem high and hollow

From the market square right down to Vincent St,

Where Madame Ray at the end of the day, is ready for the night time

I can see her red dress dancing off the floor through the bottom of her high window


From the shadows in the streets below, and you know I wanted

I guess I wanted to know Madame Ray,

Does it have to be that way?


With every little kiss in the darkness

When you’re counting out your money at the top of the stairs

In your Chinese bathrobe, are you having me on?

Tell me now we’re alone,

Does it have to be that way?

Madame Ray


The day I find you gone may well my redemption

As the wind blows the ashtray’s ashes off an unmade bed

Madame Ray I was just about to say, but in a minute I’d forgotten

The punch line to a joke that I heard, some idea you’d only find absurd


I used to get up before the sun but now I sleep all day

Take care of myself but I’m in disarray,

Does it have to be that way?


With every little kiss in the darkness


When you’re counting out your money at the top of the stairs

In your Chinese bathrobe, are you having me on?

Tell me now we’re alone,

Does it have to be that way?

Madame Ray


I will never ever retire I will never grow old

I will never ever expire, let my body grow cold

Before I ever get old


You’d never believe what I’d go through

Just to be counting out my money at the top of the stairs

In your Chinese bathrobe, you’re looking around

Come on tell me now

Does it have to be that way?

Madame Ray


With every little kiss in the darkness

When you’re counting out your money at the top of the stairs

Just like the 1920s, there was a time I’d go out of my mind

Just to see you again one more time

Madame Ray
