The pawnbroker he just roared
And it was good for the landlord
To see me so crazy, Wasn t it?
Both were so glad
To see me lose everything I had
Pain sure brings out the best in people, now, doesn t it?
Why didn t you just leave me If you didn t want to stay?
Why d you have to treat me so bad? Did it have to be that way?
Now you stand here asking me
If something happened, I got to say
And you, I see you re still with her, well
That s fine cause she s comin on so strange, can t you tell?
I think you better explain
What she should really do with her iron chain
I d do it before, but I just can t remember how
Talk to her
You re her lover now
Yes I, I ve already assumed
That we weren t in the felony room
But I ain t the judge, you don t have to be nice to me
Will you please tell that
To your friend with the cowboy hat
He keeps on sayin everything twice to me
You know I was straight with you
You know I never tried to change you in any way
You know if you didn t want to be with me
That you didn t have to stay.
Now you stand here sayin you forgive me, well
What can I say?
And you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays,well, can t you reach?
I see you kiss her on the cheek everytime she gives a speech
With her picture books of the pyramid
And snapshots of billy the kid
They re all nice but I refuse to stand here and bow
Explain it to her
You re her lover now
And everybody that cares
I see them goin up the castle stairs
But I m not up in your castle, honey
Can t recall
San Francisco at all
I can t even remember El Paso, uh , honey
You know you never had to be faithful
I never expect you to grieve
Oh, why was it so hard to you
If you didn t want to be there, just to leave?
Now you stand here
With you finger s goin up my sleeve
And you, just what you do, anyway?
What are you, some kind of moose, Ain t there nothing you can say?
She ll be standin on the bar soon
With a fish head and a harpoon
An a fake beard plastered on her brow
You d better do something
You re her lover now
Why must I fall for this madness?
Do I look like Charles Atlas?
Do you think I still got what you still got, honey?
Her voice is really warm
(Oh, right)
