Father owned the dating bar so mother ran the store
                                   
We all lived there together with the army at the door
                                 
No one to do my laundry or to tell me that they're sure
                                       
But there really is no me and there's no army at the door

                           
I hustle my way to your bedside
                          
I ride on your body like a cab ride
                             
I carry refreshments to the good guys
                        
I made the good guys some home fries

                     
Pardon me anyone where is the nearest shore
                                 
We're all in this together and the police are at the door
                       
Someone do my laundry or smash through the floor
                            
To the tropical vacation buried underneath the store

                       
And I was your favorite bullfighter
                           
Whose looks were new to your eyes
                        
And i fell apart in that bullfight
                                 
Where the dress was the sky to your thighs

                       
She said that she had an hour
                       
Her father he was in the shower
                            
And she took me to her little tower
                           
And she showed me her little flower

                                         
And just when i thought it was safe to put down my pen
                                     
She said maybe i will let you fall in love with me again
                            
Maybe i will let you fall for loving me again
                                
Then she showed me her badge and i think she said then

                                          
That i don't have the heart to tell you not to come
                             
And everyone has hands just to use someone
                             
And it makes me feel just like old gum
                          
To ride a fake horse into town
                          
To ride a lame horse into town
                          
To ride a dead horse into town
                                                                    
To ride your big f*cking fake f*cking lame f*cking dead horse into town
