lyrics

That ugly race in time and space,
She let the water touch her face
And never came around to live again
She brought you to her gypsy queen
Who looked you over and licked you clean
And sent you back across the sea again
No no no, no no, not again

He crawled across the kitchen floor
And never thought to ask for more
And never thought to stop and look around
He beat his brain, a quick release
And shook like there would be no peace
And shook like he had never felt the ground
No no no, no no, not again

She held her little atmosphere,
And later on, she left you here,
And later on, she pounded on his door
She held her breath and twirled her hair
He scowled in the evening air,
He scowled but he never asked for more
No no no, never asked for more

He hid away a loaded gun
And asked her what she did for fun
And waited for the morning to return
Then in the quiet light of day,
He blew her pretty face away,
A savage crack that every neighbor heard.
No no no, no no, not again
