About
Professional Widow is a 1996 song written by singer-songwriter Tori Amos. It was originally a harpsichord-driven punk rock dirge included on her 1996 album Boys For Pele, but it gained international popularity after being remixed by house music producer Armand van Helden. The remixed single (entitled "The Star Trunk Funkin' Mix") hit number one on the UK single chart and the Hot Dance Music/Club Play chart in the U.S. The song was then further remixed by artist Mr. Roy, spawning an entirely new CD-single of remixes that again took to the charts. In October 2006, a mash-up was made by The Dirty Rotten Scoundrels of the Armand van Helden remix and Lisa Stansfield's "People Hold On".
The song is widely rumored to be about Courtney Love, whom Trent Reznor credits with destroying the friendship between himself and Tori. In 1999, Reznor's band Nine Inch Nails released a single called "Starfuckers, Inc.", with "Starfucker" being a word that appears in Professional Widow.

Lyrics
Slag pit, stag shit
Honey bring it close to your lips, yes
Don't blow those brains yet
We gotta be big boy
We gotta be big
Starfucker just like my daddy
Starfucker just like my daddy
Just like my daddy selling his baby
Just like my daddy
Gonna strike a deal
Make him feel like a Congressman
It's running in the family
It runs in the family
Rest your shoulders
Peaches and Cream
Everywhere a Judas as far as you can see
Beautiful angel
Calling
"We got every re-run of Muhammad Ali"
Prism perfect
Honey bring it close to your lips, yes
What is termed a landslide
of principle proportion boy
It's gotta be big
I said, it better be big
Starfucker just like my daddy
Starfucker just like my daddy
Selling his baby
Just like your daddy
Selling his baby
Gonna strike a deal
Make him feel like a Congressman
It's running in the family
It runs in the family
It's running in the family, hey baby
It runs in the family
Mother Mary
China White
Brown may be sweeter
may be sweeter
Mother Mary
China White
Brown may be sweeter
She will supply
She will supply
She will supply
She will supply
Supply
Supply
Give me peace
Love
Peace
Love
Gimme peace
Love
And a hard cock
Honey bring it close to your lips, yes
Don't blow those brains yet
We gotta be big boy
We gotta be big
Starfucker just like my daddy
Starfucker just like my daddy
Just like my daddy selling his baby
Just like my daddy
Gonna strike a deal
Make him feel like a Congressman
It's running in the family
It runs in the family
Rest your shoulders
Peaches and Cream
Everywhere a Judas as far as you can see
Beautiful angel
Calling
"We got every re-run of Muhammad Ali"
Prism perfect
Honey bring it close to your lips, yes
What is termed a landslide
of principle proportion boy
It's gotta be big
I said, it better be big
Starfucker just like my daddy
Starfucker just like my daddy
Selling his baby
Just like your daddy
Selling his baby
Gonna strike a deal
Make him feel like a Congressman
It's running in the family
It runs in the family
It's running in the family, hey baby
It runs in the family
Mother Mary
China White
Brown may be sweeter

Mother Mary
China White
Brown may be sweeter
She will supply
She will supply
She will supply
She will supply
Supply

Give me peace

Gimme peace
