bad times

well she's a total disaster in the first degree ...
a pair of high-heeled blues waiting just for me ...
the lights are red and the money's blue ...
she lives down by the railroad avenue ...
the same old dance steps ... to the same old song ...
take a one way ride ... it doesn't last too long ...
it's a lifetime sentence and no one ever gets free ...
because she got the diamonds ... and i got disease ...

might as well laugh 'cause you can't dance ...
when you're on your knees ... begging for mercy ...

i can see you're havin' bad times ...
ooooo so bad ... nothing rhymes ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
only one more line before it starts to unwind ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
so bad so bad so bad ... nothing rhymes ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
she's like a lying politician at election time ...

front page headline and it's all bad news ...
a stiletto-heeled version of the walking blues ...
all fancy wrapping but nothing's inside ...
there's no bargain prices for a downhill ride ...
sweet sweet poison dressed in ermine and lace ...
and the weatherman's calling for champagne and rain ...
always centre stage at the scene of the crime ...
a cruel joke dressed up just like a valentine ...

so you might as well laugh 'cause you can't dance ...
when you're on your knees ... begging for mercy ...

i can see you're havin' bad times ...
ooooo so bad ... nothing rhymes ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
she's no misdemeanor ... she's a felony crime ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
ooooo so bad so bad ... nothing rhymes ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
one day in her bad books is like doing hard time ...

funny how you always want it ... just one more time ...
when she wins ... that's when you lose ...
on a good day you'll walk away ...
still wearing your old shoes ...

i can see you're havin' bad times ...
oh so bad ... nothing rhymes ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
she's all fancy wrapping but nothing's inside ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
there ain't no bargain prices for a downhill ride...

i can see you're havin' bad times ...
ooooo so bad ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
she's all fancy wrapping but nothing's inside ...
i can see you're havin' bad times ...
ooooo so bad ... so bad ... nothing rhymes ...

i can see you're havin' bad times ...
