Her heart belongs to no man
As it beats inside her breast
It won’t be sold to anyone
For a thousand pounds of flesh
In this world, in this world
Her tongue it speaks for no man
As it lies inside her mouth
She won’t be told to hold it
Or soften their angry shouts
In this world, in this world, in this world
Her hands they work for no man
As they batten down the hatches
Preparing to sail for no man’s land
With no fixed abode
She will wander through this world alone
Her songs are sung to no man
As they wait inside her head
No amount of pain can make her say
The things that can’t be said
In this world, In this world, In this world
Her hands they work for no man
As they batten down the hatches
Preparing to sail for no man’s land
With no fixed abode
She will wander through this world alone
Alone
Alone.
