With one or two I get used to the room

We go slow when we first make our moves

By five or six bring you out to the car

Number nine with my head on the bar



And it's sad, but true

Out of cash and I.O.U's



I've got desperate desires and unadmirable plans

My tongue will taste of gin and malicious intent

Bring you back to the bar

Get you out of the cold

A sober, straight face gets you out of your clothes

And they're scared that we know

All the crimes they'll commit

Who they'll kiss before they get home



I will lie awake

Lie for fun and fake the way I hold you

Let you fall for every empty word I say



Barely conscious in the door where you stand

Your eyes are fighting sleep as your mouth makes your demands

You laugh at every word trying hard to be cute

I almost feel sorry for what I'm going to do

And your hair smells of smoke

Who will cast the first stone?

You can sin or spend the night all alone



Brass buttons on your coat hold the cold

In the shape of a heart that they cut out of stone

You're using all your looks that you've thrown from the start

If you let me have my way I swear I'll tear you apart

'cause it's all you can be

You're a drunk and you're scared

It's ladies' night, all the girls drink for free



I will lie awake

And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you

Let you fall for every empty word I say



I will lie awake

And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you

Let you fall for every empty word I say



I will lie awake

And lie for fun and fake the way I hold you

Let you fall for every empty word I say
