Oh, a TV went off like three day old milk That shook this town down better than most And it always was less of an idea and more of a boast Oh, you´re burning in the bloom of life
Till you´re powder in the grave Or you´re pounding in the counter begging for more Till you evaporate You´d forgive her anything If you look like you, my pretty miss I wonder where you are tonight And this place becomes pitiless?
Oh, I couldn´t sleep, but I can´t complain Oh, this won´t hurt a bit, oh, this won´t hurt again When the roof comes down and the walls move in Oh, he didn´t know it could feel like that And your face turned away and the day turned black And the rain fell like a curtain Oh, it´s my turn to begin
To forgive her anything
You´d forgive her anything If you knew what I know You´d forgive her anything So where did all my pride go?
