Lyrics by Arthur Medrano
Self-Published, Self-Produced
**Album #6** Finding hope in Inwood, etching out drawings on index cards, I awoke to find myself in a new scene with new friends but less responsibility. Not-by-choice became a driving mantra. The person wanting to get better found themself framed in a panel of a panel of a large slab of drawing paper drawn with charcoal while wearing fingerless gloves doused in fixative. Three monsters away from heart palpitations and, somehow, loving muenster cheese, the apparition appeared to be me.

09 Lady Godiva
Verse 1
I am a sinner.
I'm a woman.
My flesh stopped the winter
of my old man.
He spelled taxation
and made us frown.
He forged starvation,
So I lost my gown
Chorus
Naked I rode my horse into town.
My hubby's remorse would be that I dressed down.
To save the townsfolk was my goal -
Keeping my heart as pure as my soul.
Verse 2
I am a saint.
I'm a woman.
I'll keep on riding
Until my will is done.
Fortunately
No one can spy.
It is decreed
That they must shut their eyes.
Chorus
Naked I rode my horse into town.
My hubby's remorse would be that I dressed down.
To save the townsfolk was my goal -
Keeping my heart as pure as my soul.
Bridge
My hair’s long, covering my breasts.
My bare legs (are) very visible.
All shutters closed but one earnest
Peeping tom whose existence is arguable.
Final Chorus
Naked I rode my horse into town.
My hubby's remorse would be that I dressed down.
To save the townsfolk was my goal -
Keeping my heart as pure as my soul.
