Life pours down into the neon heart (It's late at night)
|
Cement City is all a-spark (Yeah that's right)
|
The whores are loose and the dames are abroad (My pants are tight)
|
There's a price on their hearts you can't fail to afford.
|
|
Drink to the bitch and we'll dance for a while
|
If you can't do the module than you'll have to try the slide
|
It was all cool enough if you had the zazz
|
The night was still young and it was all we had
|
|
I picked her up at the bar that night (What did you do)
|
I took her home she didn't put up a fight (What did you do)
|
She was real good-lookin' but she wasn't too bright (So what's new)
|
We pulled the curtains and then locked out the night
|
|
I was fighting to maintain my cool
|
I walked the thin line between animal and fool
|
'Til I felt her hand in mine and said "Your wrong about me"
|
"I'm a boy from a good family" I told her
|
|
The juke box played an out-of-time tune (So what's new)
|
Made Tricia cry, oh her mascara was ruined (So what's new)
|
She looked such a sight, the sorrowful bitch (What did she do)
|
She rushed to the bathroom and she slashed both her wrists
|
|
Everybody screamed and roared for more
|
Lonestar Angels shouting "Encore"
|
Time was the enemy, we had to kill it dead
|
The clock kept creeping round so we went to bed instead.
