lyrics

I've been thinking of Marissa;
Long blonde hair with eyes so bright.
She goes cruising at the corner
With a one-way ticket to the night.

I just sit here on my bed wondering
If she'll be back again in the morning.
With a bottle of Jack as my only friend,
There's an old familiar stranger at my door again.

(chorus) My baby's working for those evening lies.
The way she treats me, it's as cold as ice.
I do not hold her back cause she's already gone.
And though at home when I weep, she's lovin' someone.

When she is gone, all I do is pray.
Praying for her safety, and for her to stay.
When she is back, all I do is cry
Cause though she's here right now, she'll leave again tonight.

(chorus)

Now she's gone; I'm alone.
Though she calls me, I'm not home.
Down to find her; her long brown hair.
At the corner, I'll be there.

Ol' Marissa drives to me in a Cadillac.
But then she stops to scream; the old man attacks.
And as I stand there, watching her die,
All the weights are lifted; no more time to cry.
