What is life if not a joke

one night she went out for smokes

and they took her apart like a ragdoll

in the back of a van

in an Alabama motel room

I have one of them tied up in the bathroom

I am down and out

but he will not get away with it again



When the night comes in

I hope I'm out of the rain

When the night comes in

she makes me whole again



I never sleep, I just watch TV

and the gun it lies next to me

whispering

in an Alabama motel room

I reflect on her sweet perfume

I am down and out

but they will not get away with it again



Say you love me

we will never get the chance again
