It was a night, it was just another night

She was sayin’ lots of nothing

She was none too bright

But you’ll listen much to anythin’

When anythin’s in sight, won’t ya!



Double back trouble like a temperance hall

She’s dealin’ with the ceilin’

And the writings on the wall

Then you’re wishing it was over, like an endless fall.



It’s a lane side fight

Oh no! another main line ride

Oh no! there ain’t a train in sight

Oh no! settin’ my soul on fire

Try her and buy her

Hire and fire her

Playin’ the game his latest flame



Now it’s a fine line between passion and dread

Foolin’ and a droolin’

Starts rulin’ your head

To seduction, destruction

We’re so easily lead



And then the dawn, the so impatient telephone

The smell of disappointment

Mirror wants to pick a bone

It’s a cup of cold coffee

Like the taste of stale beer

Let’s get outta here



It’s a lane side fight

Oh no! another main line ride

Oh no! there ain’t a train in sight

Oh no! settin’ my soul on fire

Try her and buy her

Hire and fire her



Carry the flame and make it last

Carry the blame and kiss your ass goodbye
