Love Deadly Love

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 sinking (1) Bet 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 Yard 8 to 15 I'm doin' hard For you and your lover Shot through the head Air conditioning lead The 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 time (2) Sha 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 love Through 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 dead (2) Repeat [Instrumental] (2) Repeat There's a visit and one phone call And sometimes a stroll If I'm straight in five years Maybe remission or parole (1) Repeat Five 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 no Love deadly love, love deadly love Love deadly love, love deadly love Love deadly love, love deadly love
