When I said those things I was out of my mind

I was trying to be mean and cruel and unkind

Don't take it too hard

There's another man inside me wants to break us apart



You were chic off the peg, bang up to the minute

I had to put my big foot in it

Don't shout it all about

There's another man inside me and he wants to get out



CHORUS

Mascara tears, bitter and black

A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back

Salt for the memory, black for the years

Black as forever, mascara tears



There's hell and hoodoo in your kitchen

Scratch the place you're itching

How long will it take

There's another girl inside you and she never got a break



CHORUS



You just moan and weep and moan and weep

Dirty rivers running down your face

Tears all down your party face



CHORUS
