Dr Bernice - Cracker


Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice
She's not a lady doctor at all
She's got hands like a man, with hair on the back
She'll crush you with her embrace


Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
We all need a kind place to live
Though the wind may whisper and howl at your door
We all need the comfort of friends


Baby don't you drive around with Dr. Bernice
That ain't a real Cadillac
It's a Delta '88 spray painted black
With fake leather seats from Juarez


Though the wind may whisper and moan sometimes
On a hot desert night it is still
Though the wind may whisper and howl at your door
You're not obliged to let them all in


Baby don't you ride in that faux Cadillac
If you must please ride in the back
If you sing while you ride you'll be a siren tonight
Spare this poor sailor's life from the rocks


Though the wind may whisper a melody now
We can't find a tune of our own
Though the world may whisper and blow in your face
And tangle the hair on your head


On a hot desert night we can drive down the road
And the stars will spell out your name
On a hot desert night with the windows down wide
The sirens, they'll sing me their song


And the ghosts of the sailors who died on the rocks
They feel not a twinge of regret
Though the wind may tangle the hair on your head
You sing like a siren to me


On a hot desert night the caravan stops
At the oasis, it's next to your heart
The soundtrack is played by some aged British queen
On BBC Radio One


Though the wind may whisper an epic sometimes
the cast must include Karen Black
Though the symphony strings, they shifts with the sand
You sing like a siren to me


You sing like a siren to me
You sing like a siren to me
