(from "In the Reins" w/ Calexico)
CLouise onlyF got from me innocent poetry
CAlthough sheG played to not listen
CBut stilFl I can hear myself speak as if no one else
C G C?
Ever could offer the same
Some say she knowingly tastes like a recipe
Although so foolish and willing
I said Babe I can picture you bend as if wanting to
Bow as the curtain went down
FCoddle some mCen, they'll remember you bitterly
FFuck 'em, they'll Gcome back for more
FI asked my LCouise would she leave and so cripple me
FThen came a knGock at the door
“I came for my woman,” he came with a razor blade
Bound like us all for the ocean
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
The man who would take her from me
Some they saw in me innocent poetry
Some, some they'll never be certain
But still it's been written, a history of lovers
Given and taken in ink
Coddle some men, they'll remember you fittingly
Cut ‘em, they'll come back for more
I asked my Louise would she leave and so cripple me
Then came the knock at the door
Louise came to rescue me; listen, the irony:
Blood made her heart change its beating
I hope that she's happy I'm blamed for the death of
The man she found better than me
