A tale of revenge.

lyrics

LACEY’S BAR

I took a ride down to the city
To pass some time, take in the view
I found myself a stool in Lacey’s Bar
There she was, there she stood, I was sold

I tried to fight it, turn my back and leave
Come midnight she took my hand
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To give a smile, work her charms, break a man

Come the morning worn out, jaded
I jumped in my car, felt out of gas
I headed home to my lady
Man she screamed, slammed the door, she caught the scent

Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie

Meanwhile back at Lacey’s Bar that night
(I said) Set them up, I’ve got the time
What’s a man supposed to do now?
When he’s single, broke, past his prime

As I was stranded in the city
Back home in old suburban heights
There’s a stranger in my backyard
He stole my dog, he stole my car, he stole my wife

Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie

The barman said he knew a lawyer
A Gucci briefcase in his hand
I made the call, he said we could talk it through
When he showed, it was my lady’s new old man

I took my gun, he claimed my bullet
With just one shot, my aim was true
I smiled down on him, took back my credit cards
Hey there Judge, he stole my woman, he stole my life

Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie

Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie

Don’t it feel like you’ve earned it?
When there ain’t nowhere to hide
Isn’t it just like a woman?
To find a fault, find a lie
