Comments

From Robyn on Patreon in 2023
Scorpio is the most intriguing sign of the Zodiac: it’s the house of spies, detectives, surgeons and psychologists - it’s where the secrets live. So it’s not always the most demonstrative: the Scorpio will carry on with their quotidian existence until out come their pincers and up goes their tail. They may sting you, and they may sting themselves - that’s the ferocious reveal.

I was watching a TV crime drama a few years ago and noted the intensity of the lead actor: you could feel the emotions fermenting in their head, yet they never said very much. When I looked them up on Google, it was no surprise to find they were a Scorpio. Actors and secrets go well together - a compartmentalised existence where your life proceeds in separate chambers until, with a burst of thunder and a lightning jab, they burst into each other. Viva!

Lyrics

I don’t know many actors
Or what an actor knows
All I do is wonder
All I do is ponder
The inner life of Scorpio

No I don’t know many actors
But when I get to shows
I marvel from the circle
Or I marvel from the cheap seats
At the inner life of Scorpio

It’s hard to read an actor
They’re a book that’s quick to close
But nobody’s escaping
No nobody’s escaping
The inner life of Scorpio
The inner life of Scorpio

The ripple on the surface
Shows how deep the feelings go
It racks their very being
It rocks their way of seeing
It’s the inner life of Scorpio

You’ve got such an inner life
Oh you’ve got such an inner life baby
You’ve got such an inner life yeah
Ooooh
Ooooh

Like every dream companion
They’ll sting you on the nose
It’s some kind of voodoo
They hurt more than you do
It’s the inner life of Scorpio
The inner life of Scorpio
