Banshee Moan - Shannon McNally

Well you’re damned if you do, you’re damned if you don’t

Trouble if you will, goes double if you won’t

So you watch what you say, you watch what you do

You keep thinking someday they’re gonna see real you

Sixty cents on the dollar, more than makes you want to holler

Attack your smarts until your numb, is how they make you feel dumb

You want to beat em to the punch, you want to trust every hunch

Because in the mirror there’s a

Girl just trying to make it in the world

Woman weep like the wild winds wail

For your magdalene and your jezebel

Woman weep for your sisters gone

Let their names live on with a banshee moan

Then one day you turn a corner, find your doubt goes back burner

All dismissal implies, is where your sanity lies

So you’ve come through fire, you’ve set your sights higher

You’ve found a merciful moon, but not a moment too soon

Woman weep like the wild winds wail

For your magdalene and your jezebel

Woman weep for your sisters gone

Let their names live on with a banshee moan
