Woke up enslaved in your last parade
Where the haloed kids of satan throw the plans that they've made
To the purse on your shoulder to be further delayed
In squalor

While up on my rooftop is covered in hay
There's a cane hanging on the doorknob it's been hanging for days
And I chose not to carry it as I stood in this parade
And hollered

You're a cold ass woman
Yes, you're a cold ass woman
With your head hanging down you resemble something of a snake
And those men who are better than me
I wouldn't let them play your game
But what could I say that's gonna change you
Katie Mae

Standing outside your window it's sad and it's cold
It's a futile position, but it's a position I hold
Having not once believed in a tale that you've told
Why should I

With your knock-knock joke sister, your no-better twin
Your parking lot lovers and your called-upon friends
Yes I do now admit I was just one of them
Wasn't I

You cold ass woman
You're just a cold ass woman
Do not try and be warm my frostbit heart could only break
As I follow your birth in the manger
To an Easter Sunday grave
But until then, are we gonna be friends
Katie Mae

No woman, I ain't trying to say that I've been missing you
I've got one song left to sing and it's about kissing you
And then I do believe I just might be through with you
Once again

But how long could you be gone from my heart, oh not a day
To my violins you shuffle, with my memory you lay
And on my chest there's a scar from an arrow that sang
Forever

You cold ass woman
You're just a cold ass woman
As mother nature's first born lays down the ace of spades
I will be off to Malibu without you
Unless you wanna come with me
But until then, is this an end?
Katie Mae
Honey what could I say, to make you up and stay
Katie Mae
Oh woman what could I be to make you easy
