I spent the night in the saloon
Amid the lullabies of crying and of croons
She beckoned and I followed through
She gave me a taste of wine
Red as a valentine
Bleeding to blue
They pressed a gun into my hands
Dressed me up in red and gave me my commands
She hid her face behind a plume
Pressed her lips to mine
And asked me darling, don't you love the view
Well, I've had my fun while it lasted
It's all yours at last, kid
Tell everyone to go to hell
But the devil will not leave til she takes you as well
Dancing feet churned the river to red foam where the nectar of love flows free
But the fruit of her chalice in such a display tastes just like hate's wine to me
Woe came creeping out last night
The perfect drinking partner for the man who threw the fight
So this is the thanks I get for living life
It's sure been fun
Hanging around
By the neck while balanced on the edge of a knife
