lyrics

BREAKING DOWN IN THE DARK

Sometimes she sits alone at the bar
+ she drinks to her Mama,
‘You got colds hands, darlin’ and a warm heart
But honey, it’ll take ya nowhere
that’s the easy part
When yr so damn pretty, baby
+ much too smart
+ what I’m trying to tell ya
what I mean to say
is the same damn thing happened to your Mama
every single day

Snow falls outside, she thinks it smells like Cancer
her make up’s all wrong, her hair’s a disaster
and the band begins to rock it down
but they’re way too loud
and the kid up there he’s handsome,
but he acts so proud
but she don’t really care
+ then again she does
she’s learned that life ain’t fair
and passion turns to rust
cuz she’s breakin down in the dark

Hey Bartender, pour me another beer
I know I’ve had too many, that’s why I’m here
don’t ask for my number
and don’ you say I’m cute
You know I’ll bite yr head off
You make me wanna puke
I got my reputation, and the language that I use
+ I ain’t some crazy lady for you to stupidly
abuse
+ I’m breakin down
in the dark

She’s so beautful
she scares us away.
