They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot Who was looking for a man of steel Who would fill up her nights with forget-me-nots And a dream no one else could reveal Her new man said to meet him at eight She came in dressed to the nines But by ten it was clear he was more than late And she just wouldn't take it this time
The bartender said she had had enough That he'd call a cab to take her somewhere But she wasn't a stranger to loneliness She had grown up and spent her life there
Up until then, up until then It happened over and over again Up until then, up until then, up until then
Well practice had increased her tolerance She had hardly eaten all day She was all hyped up on her new romance But she drank in the usual way
She stepped out to breathe and to dry her eyes To check her machine just in case He had called to excuse or apologize When she saw his unpenitent face
He approached with a girl she had seen before A bimbo up from Raspberry Street Whe he saw her he laughed and so did the whore They dropped a ten dollar bill at her feet
She was small he was tall but she blocked his path She explained in unprintable words The reason she seized him so full of wrath That more than half of the neighborhood heard
She sprayed him with mace from her pocketbook And then kicked in his personal zones Her high heels would ruin his perfect looks She left a couple of unbroken bones Well the bimbo she ran in to get the cops But the owner had called from the bar It took two cars with dogs just to make her stop I'm told that's how some women are
They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot But she would suffer in no permanent way She spent 30 nights on a County cot And she's regarded with fear till this day
Up until then, but never again It happened over and over again Up until then, up until then, up until then
Now she's tending bar where the Pagans used to meet And he's living with that bimbo up on Raspberry StreetTeksty umieszczone na naszej stronie są własnością wytwórni, wykonawców, osób mających do nich prawa.
