A Greyhound bus weaves its way across town
I'm sitting here thinking
Never thought I could be brought down
And low, yes, I'm sinkingBet on a wild one, I got stitched
Caught up in a fight
I was dreaming, dreaming, oh I saw you last night
(I got a)
4 by 8 on Riker's Yard8 to 15 I'm doin' hard
For you and your lover
Shot through the head
Air conditioning leadThe honeymoon was over with the telephone bill
Yes, you've been tumbled with your fingers in the till
The Chelsea Hotel with a private line
Now it's payback timeSha, la, la, la, I can't let you go
It's not over till it's over, no
Sha, la, la, la, I can't set you free
Oh no, can't let go'Cause I put you right above
Love deadly love
Love deadly loveThrough the shadows of my backyard
Now brother, I'm leaving a calling card
This mission tonight
Feels so right Mr. D.O.A.Some they can take it and some lie down
Some just wear that thorny crown
Like a halo 'round the head
Oh now, you're better off deadSha, la, la, la, I can't let you go
It's not over till it's over, no
Sha, la, la, la, I can't set you free
Oh no, can't let go'Cause I put you right above
Love deadly love
Love deadly loveSha, la, la, la, I can't let you go
It's not over till it's over, no
Sha, la, la, la, I can't set you free
Oh no, can't let go'Cause I put you right above
Love deadly love
Love deadly loveThere's a visit and one phone call
And sometimes a stroll
If I'm straight in five years
Maybe remission or paroleBet on a wild one, I got stitched
Caught up in a fight
I was dreaming, dreaming, oh I saw you last night
(I got a)
4 by 8 on Riker's Yard8 to 15 I'm doin' hard
For you and your lover
Shot through the head
Air conditioning leadFive card stud that's your game
I'll cut stack and lose it's all the same
You could never say no
Never say, no, no, no, noLove deadly love, love deadly love
Love deadly love, love deadly love
Love deadly love, love deadly love
