Guys & Dolls

Guys & Dolls Flashing on the tv screen With words that soak in listerine And then spit out But the whites won't fit The rows of teeth they will not split With syllables and dicing kit They'll chop you up Til' you're cold and stiff A marriage that no longer fits Just makeup for both black eyes Swollen shut I saw the future, it was bleak It blurred my sight and slurred my speech In a chorus of muffled voices That girl pulled apart by horses Behind the curtains down the street Behind the curtains down the street Behind the curtains down the street Behind the curtains down the street Guys & Dolls The pills that you gulp down with tea The terror that you cannot break free from And they force their hips Into corsets that will not fit And bound the feet But she'll still walk on I saw the future, it was bleak It blurred my sight and slurred my speech In a chorus of muffled voices That girl made all the wrong choices Behind the curtains down the street Behind the curtains down the street Behind the curtains down the street Behind the curtains down the street Do you trust the hands Or are you half afraid Of things that you can't shake 'Cause everyone is Safe and sound In this town It's the distant sound of screams That blow me off to sea That blow me off to sleep
