key from the lock
Tipped the phone off the hook
Stand up straight
Took a good long look
In a room bought by the high world
Two would -be lovers stand
Washed up from the shower
Dried up on demand
When she asked what he was thinking
He struggled to say
Love like this don't come every day
Now that it's here
I don't know what to do
Throw in my hand
I'll see the whole thing through
Some old familiar feeling
makes him rise to the bay
Though he knows this kind of a promise
is never worth the wait
Still he's looking for a woman
with a tear in her eye
Lipstick in her pocket, an evil lie
With the bargain and over
the action began
She took his love in the palm of her hand
Said, be a good boy,
you won't get hurt
But he's been lonely too long
He's been treated like a fool
When the movement was over
And they laid there face to face
He was thinking about another love
In another strange place
She said, you could take my life,
it doesn't mean a single thing to me
When my heart starts beating all the time,
I give in so easily
Then they laid down the back
of an American car
Staring at the moon and
counting all the stars
When the pain got so big
it couldn't take anymore
She opened the window
and he crawled out the door
Take I enjoyed, I'll see in the next
You
