Honey, Watch Your Ass

Lyrics

The smoke tastes like gray lead It's killing her head She finally let him have it "Here, practice yelling at yourself instead" She nearly burned the town again With the look that she gave him She covers her heart with her hands and says "A little useless praying never hurts anything" It's like nothing's got a pulse It's like nothing's got a pulse In this whole damn place Right down to the clocks Nothing's got a pulse Remember, darling, how quiet it got Leave her alone, let her go home Leave her alone, let her go So she don't have to see you How pathetic you can be So she won't hate herself to death Know what I mean? She's covering her heart with her hands and says "A little useless praying never hurts anything" That must be her up there Perfume and cigarette smoke in her wild hair She smells a little like a train Hauling lilacs through the rain I can't tell that she's crying I'll pretend again But she sees them total destruction eyes She goes running to them I'm finally showing her the switch How I learned to hold it In my teeth How she's got to keep One razor sharp bloody piece Of her old broken heart How she's got to use that edge to carve Across her new heart Something deep enough to hurt So it always reminds her Deep enough to last Darlin' honey, watch your ass
