Her Father and Her

Father owned the dating bar
So mother ran the store
We all lived there together
With the army at the door
No one to do my laundry
Or to tell me that they're sure
But there really is no me
And there's no army at the door

I hustled my way to your bedside
I ride on your body like a cab ride
I carry refreshments to the good guys
I made the good guys some home fries

Pardon me, anyone
Where is the nearest shore?
We're all in this together
And the police are at the door
Someone do my laundry
Or smash me through the floor
To that tropical vacation
Buried underneath the store

And I was your favorite bullfighter
Whose looks were new to your eyes
And I fell apart in that bullfight
Where the dress was the sky to your thighs

She said she only had an hour
Her father was still in the shower
She took me to her little tower
And she showed me her little flower

And just when I thought it was safe
To put down my pen
She said, "Maybe I will let you
Fall in love with me again
Yeah, maybe I will let you
Fall for loving me again"
Then she showed me her badge
And I think she said then

That I don't have the heart
To tell you not to come
And everyone has hands
Just to use someone
And it makes me feel just like old gum
To ride a fake horse into town
To ride a lame horse into town
To ride a dead horse into town
To ride your big fucking
Fake fucking
Lame fucking
Dead horse into town
