She’s A Hard Drink

[Verse 1]
There's a sad clown
A slapstick comic with a neon crown
Here's a mean street
Up the miracle mile through the demon heat
There's a ghost town
In a diamond-studded gown
And it's about to take another one down

[Verse 2]
She's a hard drink
A valentine bed so pretty in pink
I'm a heartthrob
A back-alley cat and a junkyard dog
She's a slow leak
And she leads me up the creek

[Chorus 1]
We'll lights the skies up
Dim-bulb lovers like me
Are too late to wise up
Between old thighs
A new sheen, same lies

[Verse 3]
She's a bad dream
Like an Adam's Apple on a beauty queen
There's a vulture picking me clean

[Chorus 2]
She kicks the dust up
It's seeping out of my skin
I'm good with bad luck
I die, she shrugs
A new high, same drugs

[Outro]
She's a slow leak
And she loves to watch me sputter and sink
