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
