Did you clean yourself For me last night Put the water out and donned a marigold In your hair to bring me here And tie one on you
Did you dress me down and liquor me up To make me last for the minute When the red comes over you Like it does when you're filled with love Or whatever you call it
Do you feel alone when I'm in my head While you wait for me To take my breath Do you still feel clean When the only dirt is the dirt I left How can you blame yourself When I did everything I wanted to
You just made yourself available You just made yourself available
Why did you dress me down [repeat] And liquor me up [repeat]
Jesus christ you have confused me Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me Forgive me girls I am confused Stiff and pissed and lost and loose
Never look her in the eyes Never tell the truth If she knows your paper You know she’ll have to burn you
Never tell the one you want that you do Save it for the deathbed When you know you kept her wanting you
And do everything she’d never do
Fall asleep with stranger’s wives The wild wives of unknown men Good for you, you’ve just become Just another one of them
Never say you miss her Never say a word
And do everything she’d never do Don’t let her see your cardinal eyes
Let her treat you like a criminal So you can treat her like a priest Girls forgive my human mind Girls forgive me one more time
Never tell the one you love that you do Save it for the deathbed
And do everything she’d never do Don’t let her see your cardinal eyes Don’t let her see your cardinal eyes
Jesus christ you have confused me Cornered, wasted, blessed and used me Forgive me girls I am confused Stiff and pissed and lost and loose
