See, other side, comin’ in from the East, ya got a statue of this bird, arms outstretched, made from some black rock I dunno the name of. Daytime, she’s welcomin’, ya look at her, it’s peaceful. I’m not a man for art personally but it’s just pleasant. They call it the Shrine of the Black Virgin. At night, this virgin becomes a man-eater, somehow, just in the change of light those arms become the beckonin’ arms of a whore like no other. The look in her eye ain’t peaceful no more, it draws you in. Ya hear stories about blokes who have walked into her arms. They’re just stories, never seen it myself….but everyone gives her a wide berth. ~ Tommy Sharpeye
During the day, the statue seems to beckon peacefully. As shadows fall upon the statue at night, it appears as a naked, somewhat wanton woman, inviting visitors to share exotic and unknown pleasures.
