@[Diderik:33655] "Your a holiday!" Was a popular term used in the 50s/60s to compliment someone on their all around. For example, not only are they beautiful, but they are fun and kind too ... just an all around "holiday".
I think your first comment is closer to being accurate. The singer/song writers state "Millions of eyes can see, yet why am i so blind!? When the someone else is me, its unkind its unkind". I believe hes referring to the girl toying with him and using him. He wants something deeper with her, thats why he allows himself to be as a puppet (even though for her fun and games) as long as it makes her happy. But he knows deep down that she doesnt really want to be serious with him and thats what makes him.
He finished off the bottle and broke it over his head
Said 'fore the night is over, my old lady's gonna wind up dead
Out in my car my daddy's Colt .45
He liked to quote the Bible, especially that 'tooth for a tooth'
Gonna carry out the word, on that adulteress in that booth
Now, I don't know that man, guess he's shit outta luck.
The word's all over town
There's a killin' down at the Zebra Lounge
When the law finally got there, he was sittin' at the bar
They put the cuffs on him, and led him to the car
He said, "boys, what do ya think, I really got her good"
The word's all over town
There's a killin' down at the Zebra Lounge
The judge finally asked him, what was goin' through his head
He said "Besides crank and Beam, the sight of him in my bed."
I loved her to death, now you can take my last breath.
The word's all over town
There's a killin' down at the Zebra Lounge
Said 'fore the night is over, my old lady's gonna wind up dead
