lyrics
Well you know Jack the Ripper
They say he's a pretty good kisser
And the tungsten in the parlor
Couldn't save them from the caller
And the problem with him leaving was the pieces he was needing
They fit so well in collections
That he left in a will with faulty directions...
...but don't kill messengers
They're only giving second wind to the scavengers
Well I broke one's heart & the other
Was a warm body on the cold side of the bed & the next one played guitar
We ended up estranged but we started off as friends & the last one was a wreck
Had me pacing the lot on the count it was a hex & I was sleeping in the stacks
You can fall in love with songs but they will never love you back...
...and I don't take news well
The moment's always fleeting and the misery's a beating on the cells
...but I don't take news well
The moment's always fleeting and the misery's a beating on the cells
