The Once Over Twice Lyrics
I just heard the sad song by another band
Sung by another man
He gave me the once over twice
I said, "When?"
He said, "Okay, so long."
He hung me with the endless rope
I could throw my lipstick and bracelets like gravel
And move to Alabama
I got some more scotch instead
Then I died a thousand times
He hung me with the endless rope
Then I died a thousand times, maybe you don't
But I do, I got a hole in my heart
Size of my heart
Size of my heart
He hung me with the endless rope
[Guitar Solo]
I'll see you and I'll raise you off the floor
I'll floor you and we'll dance without a band
I just heard the sad song, hang another man
He hung me with the endless rope
I just heard the sad song by another band
Sung by another man
He gave me the once over twice
I said, "When?"
He said, "Okay, so long."
He hung me with the endless rope
