Every time | |
I go downtown | |
I think I might find you around. | |
I take your picture just in case, anybody's seen- | |
A girl who's had her better days, just like the last place that you stayed, | |
Where I can see you tipping back the curtains, looking for me. | |
You say. “ | |
Baby do you have to go away | |
Just before the deal gets real sweet, | |
Just before my trouble finally pays off, | |
Can you cover for me?” | |
I see you coming down the hill. | |
You smile at me like | |
I'm a worn out thrill, | |
As if I have some endless well of dignity. | |
You cut yourself like a high school kid- | |
I did it once, everybody did, | |
Just to feel the emptying of everything. | |
Just to watch it all go away, | |
Every time the deal gets real sweet, | |
Every time our trouble finally paid off. | |
We said, “ | |
Cover for me, cover for me.” | |
It's 2 years of depravity for every year of recovery, | |
And you'll lose eventually, if that's what you need. | |
Of all the friends that make me sad, | |
You're the one | |
I just can't have- | |
All the numbers that you left me, | |
They just ring and ring. | |
I said, “Baby do you have to go away, | |
Just before the deal gets real sweet, | |
Just before my trouble finally pays off, | |
Can't you cover for me, like | |
I covered for you, |
Every time | |
I go downtown | |
I think I might find you around. | |
I take your picture just in case, anybody' s seen | |
A girl who' s had her better days, just like the last place that you stayed, | |
