Electric Timothy - Old Ruffian Lyrics

A long night, I might as well have died
We got into a fight because Katy lied
What really hurt was something deep within
In comparison the pavement felt soft on my skin

What was she running from
Was it what was next to come or the fact that she was bored and found me mettlesome?
She threw her life away, just the other day, to some old ruffian because she had bills to pay

So I say
Stop playing the ruffian's game
Take aim
He will never let you go and he knows my name

A while back I was all she had
I took her in when she was suicidally sad
She really got under my skin
But I never knew just what was troubling her deep within

What was she running from
Was it what was next to come or the fact that she was bored and found me mettlesome?
She threw her life away, just the other day, to some old ruffian because she had bills to pay

So I say
Stop playing the ruffian's game
Take aim
He will never let you go and he knows my name
Take aim
Stop playing the ruffian's game
Believe me when I say
He will never let you go and he knows my name

What was she running from
Was it what was next to come or the fact that she was bored and found me mettlesome?
She threw her life away, just the other day, to some old ruffian because she had bills to pay
