A Dame with a Rod Lyrics
A dame with a rod
Give me your hand,
Get in the van,
Do you understand?,
He's got a plan.
He's got a room for one night,
So don't try to fight.
He's got a knife,
No respect for your life.
Is it for real?,
How does it feel?
We made a deal.,
Even paid for your meal.
She's got a pain in her head.,
Her eyes are red.
Touch her again and you're dead.
You heard what she said.
I am a heroine,
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.,
He won't do it again.
I'm a heroine.,
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.,
He won't do it again.
Give me your hand,
Get in the van,
Do you understand?,
Act like a man.
He got a room for one night,
So don't try to fight.
He's got a knife,
No respect for your life.
Is it for real ?,
How does it feel?
We made a deal.,
Even paid for your meal.
She's got a pain in her head.
The bed is red.
Touch her again and you're dead.
You heard what I said.
I'm a heroine.,
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.,
He won't do it again.
I'm a heroine.,
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.,
He won't do it again.
Don't try to run.,
You did what you done.
I've got a gun,
And no mercy for scum.
You're gonna rot in the ground,
Not come back around.
You pushed yourself down,
And outta my town.
I'm a heroine.
He tried to do her in.
I gave it back to him.
He won't do it again.
I'm a heroine.
He tried to do her in
I gave it back to him.
He won't do it again.
Get in the van,
Do you understand?,

He's got a room for one night,
So don't try to fight.
He's got a knife,
No respect for your life.

It's about a woman witnessing a date rape and shooting the rapist. 'Rod' is an old slang for a gun.
"A dame with a rod is like a guy with a knitting needle." From Out of the Past, starring Robert Mitchum and Kirk Douglas.
I sing the last verse as "I struck the rod down" instead of "get out of my town". I find it really much more feminin this way
