Skinny Bones - Killing Me Softly Lyrics

Slipping on my shiny shoes
Oh I'm headed out with nothing to lose
There she was all red white abused
Her eyes so big with the worn out blues
Pocket full of thrills and a handful of pills
I was looking for love with fifty dollar bill

So get back and prepare yourself
Gentlemen's rules, no, they don't apply
She was young and ever so fine
I wanted her but she had to die

Long haired bozo
Looking for a wierdo
To take home and make his own
She was so lovely
Killing me softly
I'll take her down to the salty town

Grab a drink
It's time to think about my family that I've done wrong
So here's a song
Drinks and the drugs and the so-called love
Down a bum-f*ck road chosen from above
Pocket full of thrills and a handful of pills
I was looking for love with a ten dollar bill

Get back and prepare yourself
Gentlemen's rules, no, they don't apply
She was young and ever so fine
I wanted her but she had to die

Long haired bozo
Looking for a wierdo
To take home and make his own
She was so lovely
Killing me softly
I'll take her down to the salty town
