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
