The Divorce Lyrics

The Divorce lyrics

She had just busted out of the whorehouse
And was looking for a drink to
celebrate the divorce
She told 'em she was going out for smokes -- and never
looked back
The sky was bloodshot as she stumbled into the bar
Sullen eyes
lit up like cigarettes
Cockroaches were gasping for breath
She selects her
poison, brings it to her lips
A song like drunken sailors from a sunken
ship
She thinks, power comes to them that enjoy the thrill of fear
A sign
says: If you're looking for answers, you won't find them here

Everyone is
leaving, all the widows grieving
Hear the siren laughing, and the truck
brakes groaning
While the subway's screaming, all the junkies
dreaming
Now the shadow's falling, is that your lover calling?

She
grinds out cigarette in a souvenir ashtray
Reaches for the bottle but ther's
nothing left
Says: Buy me a drink and I'll tell you a story
But the bitch
at the bar wouldn't sell you a smile
She closes her eyes and thinks of a
wish she once had
A dwindling spark of memory
She wants to wipe it clean
-- scrape away the debris
Can I get you something? - it's a man in the
periphery
The car keys in his hand
She searches her pockets for a match
or a reason
He slams the money on the bar
They go out to his
car

When you put your hand in your pocket
Looking for a match or
something to say
Life seems like a rerun
Everything coming up
cliches
Suicide comes on like a friend
Seems like the bad times never
end
Close your eyes and think of home
Movements are slow and
tragic
Solar flares from a dying sun
Science without the
magic
Children shouldn't play with guns
Flashes of pain are fading
fast
Echoes from each subsonic blast
close your eyes and think of
home....
