The pawnbroker roared Also, so, so did the landlord The scene was so crazy, wasnt it? Both were so glad To watch me destroy what I had Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesnt it? Why didnt you just leave me if you didnt want to stay? Whyd you have to treat me so bad? Did it have to be that way? Now you stand here expectin me to remember somethin you forgot to say Yes, and you, I see youre still with her, well Thats fine cause shes comin on so strange, cant you tell? Somebody had better explain Shes got her iron chain Id do it, but i, I just cant remember how You talk to her Shes your lover now.
I already assumed That were in the felony room But I aint a judge, you dont have to be nice to me But please tell that To your friend in the cowboy hat You know he keeps on sayin evrythin twice to me You know I was straight with you You know Ive never tried to change you in any way You know if you didnt want to be with me That you could . . . didnt have to stay. Now you stand here sayin you forgive and forget. honey, what can I say? Yes, you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays, cant you reach? I see you kiss her on the cheek evrytime she gives a speech With her picture books of the pyramid And her postcards of billy the kid (why must everybody bow? ) You better talk to her bout it Youre her lover now.
Oh, evrybody that cares Is goin up the castle stairs But Im not up in your castle, honey Its true, I just cant recall San francisco at all I cant even remember el paso, uh, honey You never had to be faithful I didnt want you to grieve Oh, why was it so hard for you If you didnt want to be with me, just to leave? Now you stand here while your fingers goin up my sleeve An you, just what do you do anyway? aint there nothin you can say? Shell be standin on the bar soon With a fish head an a harpoon An a fake beard plastered on her brow Youd better do somethin quick Shes your lover now.
