Never Coming Here Again

With your pistol ‘neath your pillow
And your dreams all full of blood
Your eyes are dark and icy cold
Your lies are worth their weight in gold
Killed your love on Main Street
You shot it through the head
With cold steel and broken truth
And a red dress and your hollow tooth
And you feel like Bonnie Parker
And you feel
Like finding you a diamond that it’s worth your time to steal
Don’t know where you’re going
Don’t matter where you been
You know you’re never coming here again
Out on the concrete catwalk
With the ruin and the rain
Hitting out of every scene
Hungry like a magazine
Slave drivers damn you
Because you won’t dig their coal
And the slaves they all resent you
Because you haven’t sold your soul
And you hear the rolling laughter
and you hear
It’s just what people know about themselves that makes them fear
Digging graves by moonlight
In a raw magnolia wind
You know you’re never coming here again
Ooh my love, we are only passing by
Ooh my love, don’t you weep
Crooked hearts and Italian boots
Burning at the soles
You crucified everyone you love on a telephone pole
Riding free on sinking ships with love letters for sails
Drinking gin with faithless men
Stepping on the devil’s tail
And you feel the world us ending
And you feel
Like anybody would in five inch bright red leather heels
Trying to convince yourself you care what happens next
But you know it doesn’t matter in the end
Besides you’re never coming here
