Suzanne Vega — Black Widow Station

I am at your halfway station darling and I've been waiting For your train I am at your halfway station darling and I've been waiting For your train But you've been too long darling and it looks like rain I have seen these strange little girls who come up to you And they don't know when to stop I have watched your eye as it follows the line of the leg Right up to the top Now betty sue and mary jane have come around to play again But I am standing at your door and I do believe I'll tell Them to go home There's this black widow spider darling and she's been Walking on my hand There's this black widow spider darling and she's been walking On my hand And we've had this little heart to heart and I think I Understand It's a funny situation, I mean what am I to do? With lisa in the upstairs room and joan and martha too I can't come down to breakfast 'cause the plates have all Been used And it's as crowded as a subway car and I think that you're Confused Now I would wait at your station but I do believe it's time That I went home I am at black widow station darling and I've been waiting for Your train I am at black widow station darling and I've been waiting for Your train You've been to long darling and it looks like rain You've been to long darling and it looks like rain (january 1981)
