She's Your Lover Now Lyrics

There you stand there
You′re fooling, running out of water
Oh, how the pawnbroker roared
And it was so good for the landlord
To see me so crazy, wasn't it?
They both were so glad
To see me destroy everything I had
Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn′t it?

Why didn't you just leave me
If you didn't want to stay?
Why′d you want to hurt me so bad?
Did it have to be that way?

Now you stand here saying
Is there anything I got left to say?
And you, I see you′re still with her well
That's fine, but she′s coming on so strange, can't you tell?
Take off her iron chain
I think you better explain
I′d do it but I just can't remember how
Talk to her, you love her now

I′ve already assumed
That we're in the felony room
But I ain't the judge, you don′t have to be nice to me
Will you please tell that
To your friend with the cowboy hat?
He keeps on saying everything twice to me

You know I was straight with you
You know I never tried to change you in any way
You know that if you didn′t want to be with me
That you didn't have to stay

Now you stand here saying
You forgive me, what do you expect me to say?
And you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays
Can′t you reach?
I see you kiss her on the cheek
Every time she gives a speech
With her postcards of the pyramid
And her snapshots of Billy the Kid
They're all so nice, but why must everybody fall?
Explain it to her, you love her now

Everybody that cares
They′re all going up the castle stairs
But I'm not up in the castle, honey
I just can′t recall
San Francisco at all
I can't even remember El Paso, honey

You knew you never had to be faithful
I never wanted you to grieve
Why was it so hard for you
If you didn't want to be with me just to leave?

Why must you stand there now
With your fingers going up my sleeve?
And you, just what do you do anyway?
Isn′t there anything you can really say?
When she′s standing on the barstool
With her fish head and her harpoon
And her fake beard plastered on herYou better do something
She's your lover now

Must I be in so sadness
Do I look like Charles Atlas
You think I still got what you still got baby
Her voice is really warm
It′s just that it ain't got any form
It′s like a dead man's last pistol shot baby
Ah, your mouth used to be so naked
Your eyes used to be so blue
Your hurts used to be so nameless
Your tears used to be so few

Now your eyes cry wolf
While your mouth cries
I′m not scared of animals like you

And you
There's really nothing about you I can recall
I just saw you that one time
And you were just there that's all

But I′ve already been kissed
I′m not gonna get into this
I couldn't make it anyhow
You do it for me
You′re her lover now
