The pawnbroker roared
Also, so, so did the landlord
The scene was so crazy, wasn`t it?
Both were so glad
To watch me destroy what I had
Pain sure brings out the best in people, 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 expectin` me to remember somethin` you forgot to say
Yes, and you, I see you`re still with her, well
That`s fine `cause she`s comin` on so strange, can`t you tell?
Somebody had better explain
She`s got her iron chain
I`d do it, but I, I just can`t remember how
You talk to her
She`s your lover now.
I already assumed
That we`re in the felony room
But I ain`t a judge, you don`t have to be nice to me
But please tell that
To your friend in the cowboy hat
You know he keeps on sayin` ev`rythin` twice to me
You know I was straight with you
You know I`ve never tried to change you in any way
You know if you didn`t want to be with me
That you could . . . didn`t have to stay.
Now you stand here sayin` you forgive and forget. Honey, what can I say?
Yes, you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays, can`t you reach?
I see you kiss her on the cheek ev`rytime she gives a speech
With her picture books of the pyramid
And her postcards of Billy the Kid
(Why must everybody bow?)
You better talk to her `bout it
You`re her lover now.
Oh, ev`rybody that cares
Is goin` up the castle stairs
But I`m not up in your castle, honey
It`s true, I just can`t recall
San Francisco at all
I can`t even remember El Paso, uh, honey
You never had to be faithful
I didn`t want you to grieve
Oh, why was it so hard for you
If you didn`t want to be with me, just to leave?
Now you stand here while your finger`s goin` up my sleeve
An` you, just what do you do anyway? Ain`t there nothin` you can say?
She`ll be standin` on the bar soon
With a fish head an` a harpoon
An` a fake beard plastered on her brow
You`d better do somethin` quick
She`s your lover now.
