Short straw always wins   Like the cockroach crows   There are things   I don't want to know      Lights are on ain't nobody home   Giggle now and laugh last   Eyes are open   Think fast      Skid marks mark the spot   There's no point in asking why   You paid me off too long ago   Cross my palm hope to die      Lights are on ain't nobody home   Giggle now, laugh last   Eyes are open    Think fast      Seventy miles on a ninety degree turn   The hard way's the best to learn   Short straw always wins   Like the cockroach crows      Skid marks mark the spot   There's no point in asking why   You paid me off too long ago   Cross my palm hope to die
