That whore she left you bloody
On the hotel lobby floor
Even though she took your money
Oh, you know she needed more

What was she thinking?
"I'll just take what I can get
I've got him where I want him
Or should I place a bigger bet?"

All the clean lines that she told herself
Getting ready for that night
All the strings they kept on pulling
Until she couldn't feel how tight

All the mixing and the meddling
As the shit was going down
The naked man was singing
But he didn't make a sound

At last we have the casket
The widow hides her face
Your head was off your body
And your nose all beaten down

As the preacher bowed his head
Two men hardly make a sound
Oh, now they have the city
And a change is coming down

Lady you shot me, I knew it couldn't last for long
Lady you shot me, the tent is coming down
Lady you shot me, the river's running out
Lady you shot me, my brother knocked me down
