lyrics

Strung-out and cold on the crosstown bus
My clothes still reek of you,
The cheap perfume in the motel room,
The burnt sulfur, and red columbines
You know I wear my Catholic guilt like a hand-me-down quilt
That keeps me comfy, cozy, and warm
As the fires of hell, oh they surely will
When it is that my time has come

Waiting to take a chance on secondhand romance,
Ready to take a chance, oh but you’re gone, long gone . . .

I remember it well, that roach motel
On the outskirts of this bastard town
With the curtains drawn on a cold gray dawn,
We drank pink champagne from paper cups
And then you left a lipstick-kiss on a napkin with
A phone number and a phony name
Said, “It’s been a pleasure,” took the money on the dresser,
And you walked on out that door

It’s then I saw the Virgin Mary in a water-stain buried
In the ceiling weeping graywater tears
And made a full confession to my nickel 57,
Spun a bullet in the chamber and fired

Waiting to take a chance on secondhand romance,
Russian roulette’s true test, oh but you’re gone, long gone

When I saw you that day beneath the overpass, baby,
On the arm of another man,
I’ll admit I saw red, maybe lost my head
When I drew thunder from the clear blue sky,
And left a bloody crater with the bullet from the chamber
Of the gun that wouldn’t kill me,
Like a kiss from Cupid’s arrow, then watched you spasm in the shadows
As the light left your upturned eyes

Waiting to take a chance on secondhand romance,
Requiescat In Pace ‘cause you’re gone, long gone
You’re gone, oh you’re gone, gone, you’re gone, and the rain’s gonna come,
You’re gone...
