Courtesans Lyrics

by The Magnetic Fields

Where courtesans shed no tears
When men leave them high and dry
They just go on, they just go on
To the next guy
[ Lyrics from: http://www.cloverlyrics.com/e78206-the_magnetic_fields~courtesans_lyrics.html ]
For courtesans only want
Compensation for their time
A few kind words, a few kind words
They need not want

A sable coat, maybe a hat
Oh, I wish I could be like that

But courtesans are not like me
They don't take love very hard
Their hearts are free, their hearts are free
How avant-garde

If no one loves them when they're old
They sit upon their chains of gold

You say you'll love them till you die
And they don't care if it's a lie

'Cause courtesans don't believe
In anybody but themselves
And Santa Claus, and Santa Claus
And his twelve elves

The Magnetic Fields
