Hire And Fire Lyrics

Hire And Fire

It was a night, it was just another night
She was sayin` lots of nothing
She was none too bright
But you`ll listen much to anythin`
When anythin`s in sight, won`t ya!

Double back trouble like a temperance hall
She`s dealin` with the ceilin`
And the writings on the wall
Then you`re wishing it was over, like an endless fall.

It`s a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there ain`t a train in sight
Oh no! settin` my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her
Playin` the game his latest flame

Now it`s a fine line between passion and dread
Foolin` and a droolin`
Starts rulin` your head
To seduction, destruction
We`re so easily lead

And then the dawn, the so impatient telephone
The smell of disappointment
Mirror wants to pick a bone
It`s a cup of cold coffee
Like the taste of stale beer
Let`s get outta here

It`s a lane side fight
Oh no! another main line ride
Oh no! there ain`t a train in sight
Oh no! settin` my soul on fire
Try her and buy her
Hire and fire her

Carry the flame and make it last
Carry the blame and kiss your as* goodbye.
