man, we popped him upside the head
left him in the center of the street
stone-cold on the verge of being extremely dead
and the last thing that he said
when we tossed him into his bed
was
he wanted another round of big boy meal
so how did that feel?
we sent out a quick appeal
went looking for a last kiss
we found our famous Miss Couldn't Miss
and she took aim where it wouldn't hurt
grabbed her hem and showed him the inside of her uptown skirt
she was never one to pass up a chance to flirt
man, she gave him a headlong fake
stuffed her oven and got ready to bake
readied her garden with a long leaf rake
slapped down her ten dollar stare
pulled a pin and let loose all her hair
pulled weeds from the fertility bed
man, we popped him upside the head
left him in the center of the street
stone-cold on the verge of being extremely dead
and the last thing that he said
when we tossed him into his bed
was
he wanted a chance to sing his own song
he was sure he could keep it from going wrong
not too short and not too long
well, we took him at his word
and the next thing that we heard
was the sound of a duet and so how'd that feel?
we sent out a quick appeal
went looking for a last kiss
we found our famous Miss Couldn't Miss
and she took aim where it wouldn't hurt
she was never one to pass up a chance to flirt
she gave it her all
and pretty soon we all began to fall
and we stayed down
hitting all the back roads in town
slipping away and never again were found.
