about

Looking for love in all the wrong places is a hard lesson in love.

lyrics

You could’ve told me to go to hell,
You just about did,
I never could read between the lines.
You’re something short of nothing,
If nothing was something,
And nothing is all we’ll ever have.

If you looked like hell I’d say it,
I often wished it so,
But I’ve never had need for those words.
If you were guarding heavens doors,
There’d be devils getting it,
Neither saints nor sailors could resist your charms.

Have the demons had their way?
Sailors sailed on through?
Saints paid their respects
Gunslingers rode on too.
Vagabonds and lonely one,
The rich, the poor, forgotten ones
Have all been past your door

And I’m the last sucker in town.

You brandish a knife, That both cuts and smooths,
You line them up and slice them through.
As you wander off in the dark, the streets all sigh again
Singing that lonely hymn to him.

Have the politicians failed?
Bureaucrats digressed?
Winds of change prevailed
For hipsters wearing vests?
Listless geeks, dirty cheats,
Fixed wheeled riders wearing cleats,
Have all been past your door,

And I’m the last sucker in town.

Beware those cold-blooded lovers, who let you to their door,
You sure as hell ain’t getting in.
They’ll leave you with nothing, If nothing was something,
Because nothing is all they have to give.
