(Roger Taylor)


Come on, come on

She was a waitress she looked real fine

The little temptress was so divine

A symphony of cheap perfume and pretty stale red wine

She can wait upon my table any time

She was poetry in motion

Stiletto heels and nylons she moved up to the table

I could see she had for me a burger with my fries on

Love lies bleeding, hey listen to this,love lies bleeding


Well we parked outside a city bank

We found it all real funny

The car was running on full tanks and we stole all the money

She was a wicked wily waitress and she should be doing time

She was an ordinary waitress now she owns her own goldmine

How 'bout that,love lies bleeding

Now listen to this,love lies bleeding


She was a rebel without a cause

She was a girl who needed applause

Love in the future love in the past

Love in the future love in the past (love lies bleeding)

Love lies bleeding in our path (love lies bleeding)

Would you believe that it gets worse (love lies bleeding)


She had a loud theatrical whisper

I had a one way ticket to Palookaville

She had an equally dangerous sister

I was out of my league they were in for the kill

She was a wicked wily waitress and I gave her all my trust

She took the loot gave me the boot

Now she's rich and I'm flat bust

Yeah (love lies bleeding)

Now that was the limit (love lies bleeding)


Because

She was a rebel without a cause (love love)

She was a girl who needed applause (love love)

Love in the future love in the past

Love in the future love in the past

Love lies bleeding in our path (love love love lies bleeding)


I dreamed this world was quite alright (love lies bleeding)

And everyone meant well (love lies bleeding)

When I awoke to my surprise (love lies bleeding)

I found myself in hell (love lies bleeding)


Love lies bleeding...
