Oh, a TV went off like three day old milk

That shook this town down better than most

And it always was less of an idea and more of a boast

Oh, you're burning in the bloom of life

Till you're powder in the grave

Or you're pounding in the counter begging for more

Till you evaporate

You'd forgive her anything

If you look like you, my pretty miss

I wonder where you are tonight

And this place becomes pitiless?



Oh, I couldn't sleep, but I can't complain

Oh, this won't hurt a bit, oh, this won't hurt again

When the roof comes down and the walls move in

Oh, he didn't know it could feel like that

And your face turned away and the day turned black

And the rain fell like a curtain

Oh, it's my turn to begin

To forgive her anything



You'd forgive her anything

If you knew what I know

You'd forgive her anything

So where did all my pride go?



Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh



Oh, oh, oh, oh, you'd forgive her anything

If you knew what I know

You'd forgive her anything

So where did all my pride go?
