Betrayed by the one who says she loves you   By the one who says she needs you   Above all other men   Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty   Her father did his duty   And I lie down betrayed      Justice taught her confidence   Her mother was like steel   Her cousins, they're all convicts   She alone rose above that wheel   But a motorcyclist no matter how good   Is slave to the oncoming truck   And the poison of her father was   Her most pitiless luck      Betrayed by the one who says she loves you   By the one who says she needs you   Above all other men   Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty   Her father did his duty   And I lie down betrayed      Three of us lie in this bed   Night of infamy   One of us lies on our back   Her father's in her head   And quick she turns and slaps my face   And with her eyes open wide she screams   I hate you, I hate you, I hate you   But she's looking right past me      Betrayed by the one who says she loves you   By the one who says that she needs you   Above all other men   Betrayed by her fragile, vicious beauty   Her father did his duty   And I lie down betrayed      And I lie down betrayed   I lie down betrayed
