lyrics

Seven deadly sins they say
Here's a place to knock them out
All in a single day

One more beer for the road
A few more bad decisions until
Every wild oat is sowed

Nobody looks at a clock
And no one ever says when
When there's a bar on every block

There's a total lack of urgency
Where plastic beads are currency

She's a lady of the night in gaudy red light
Who's seen more than her fair share
Of self-destructive tendencies
And self-fulfilling prophecies
The desperate rot 'neath the veneer
She'll tell you what you want to hear

She never told me her name
She never even asked me mine
So I guess that's part of the game

She didn't want to get bent
That tells me that she's not from here
Or a liar, or maybe it's Lent

She took my wallet when she left
I don't know what hurt me more
The rejection or the theft

Her boundaries are not healthy
There's nothing she won't sell, she's a

Lady of the night in gaudy red light
Who's seen more than her fair share
Of self-destructive tendencies
And self-fulfilling prophecies
The desperate rot 'neath the veneer
She'll tell you what you want to hear

Seven deadly sins they say
Here's a place to knock them out
All in a single day
