Lyrics

She Never Took No for an Answer

There's a parking lot viper alone in the dream

A fabulous disaster of an underground queen

She never took no for an answer

Never took no for an answer

Carnivorous lovers can sometimes be fooled

Crashing to earth as they reach for the moon

And never take no for an answer

Never take no for an answer

Break up your troubles throw them away

We'll sleep on the train let's leave them today

And never take no for an answer

Never take no for an answer

Blood in their eyes blood on the spoon

Blood on the smile of the man in the moon

They never took no for an answer

Never took no for an answer

It's the easiest lesson that's taught out of school

We all have our heroes when we're living like fools

Never take no for an answer

Never take no for an answer
