he's just a shadow of what he used to be    ever since I put him in his place    she's just a memory that's scared him    horribly and looks like lipstick on his face    this side of paradise is slow    no eager men go to the show    except for me    she wore a bright red dress always looked half undressed    and he stuck by her side like glue she'd give him perfect    eyes smiled at him every time and when she spoke sleepless and stupid    days wasting good time on feeling bad    she's taken everything greenbacks and anything that she    could steal behind his back
