| Badman’s woman with that look in her eye
|
| You stop to wonder as she passes by
|
| Something inside you is never the same
|
| Something outside you is always to blame
|
| Follow her home where she lives with some friends
|
| They have some good things to add to the blend
|
| The games expanded, invaded the place
|
| You’re the only one who’s forgotten his face
|
| You’re saying no no no I must be on my way
|
| But it really has been a pleasant night
|
| And you go so slow hope they’ll ask you to stay
|
| And indifference gives you a fright
|
| Walking outside you come to a door
|
| You go inside and you wonder what for
|
| At least it’s good to be out of the wind
|
| You turn around and the clocks all begin
|
| Just like the winter your memory thaws
|
| Just like the ocean your memory pours
|
| So many pieces to match or to find
|
| So many doubts to have in one mind
|
| It’s hard to see how the tables have turned
|
| It’s hard to see how the people have learned
|
| It’s hard to watch the past drizzling past
|
| It’s hard to watch them picking the cast
|
| And it stacks up badly that it never makes sense
|
| You sense that sensation is who’s paying the rent
|
| And she beckons to you with her fingers and lies
|
| She says: can’t you slice the price of your paradise |
