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.
