I posed naked for an artist today
My hands started shaking I heard him say
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath
Show your neck and let your head sway
Where'd you lose that attitude
That highlighted your pose
I knew you when your face was soft
And you were not so worn
Lift your chin and fight off the chill
Go indignant odalisque
Take a break and warm up those hands
We'll get this still
I'll stretch my neck and hold the pose I suppose
Where to go
There's another me in another studio
But the studies in your clay will betray me
Tell how I felt today
A tissue was twisting in the wind today
Where are we going to land I wanted to say
He grabbed my arm and he twisted this way
I thought goddamn you Rodin but I need to get paid
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath
Show your neck and let your head sway
Let it go
Show off your neck and let your head sway
Will I look lonely when I'm made out of stone
Pose me in a ball so I can roll away
I don't want a mystery mon legionnaire
Don't make them wonder what happened in here
I know now I'm trapped in history
This moment lasts for years
Let me go today
Don't sculpt me this way
Where'd you lose that attitude
That highlighted your pose
I knew you when your face was soft
And you were not so worn
Lift your chin and fight off the chill
Go indignant odalisque
Take a break and warm up those hands
We'll get this still
Feast your eyes
Paint a smile don't cry
Take a deep breath girl
Take a deep breath
Show your neck and let your head sway
Let it go
Show your neck and let your head sway
