Albert Promenade - Hard Time Lyrics

I found a little love
Flesh and bone from the tile to the ceiling now
In town playing around
Been burning, a hurting feeling
Leaving me with a dollar quarter honey
I feel like a penniless whore
You were with the harlequin, baby
I heard him howling
I had a hard time, with a pain that never dies

And he will do the crime
Chico's a low achiever
Inside he's dreading the time
Run down and getting a fever
I've got my head down
Got to run like the wind and I'm safe now
I hear them at my side
If you feel let down then you'd better hide
This is a hard time, with a pain that never dies

Those days of only wanting you
The room, lilac and blue
I watch you as you sleep inside a dream
I'd never deny but for you
A cell I'd be going to, maybe for life
You made a truth out of my lie
I was a thief, I took what I could find
I thought I knew we'd never leave it all behind
But now, for all I could lose
Hard to take, you're making the wrong mistake
You laugh and dissolve the night

Last night I lay with her
I heard her say a prayer
Lifeless and no hair
Like an uninhabited lie
And now she's walking out the door
She can't let sin go no more
Some people preach gutter
But I got no hell when it can't get harder
This is the hard time, with a pain that never dies
