She's a total disaster in the first degree   A pair of high-heeled blues waiting just for me   The lights are red and the money's blue   She lives down by the railroad avenue   And the same old dance steps to the same old song   Take a one way ride   It doesn't last too long   It's a lifetime sentence and no one ever gets free   Because she got the diamonds   And I got disease      Might as well laugh 'cause you can't dance   When you're on your knees   Begging for mercy      I can see you're havin' bad times   Oooo so bad   Nothing rhymes   I can see you're havin' bad times   Only one more line before it starts to unwind   I can see you're havin' bad times   So bad so bad so bad   Nothing rhymes   I can see you're havin' bad times   She's like a lying politician at election time      Front page headline and it's all bad news   A stiletto-heeled version of the walking blues   All fancy wrapping but nothing's inside   There's no bargain prices for a downhill ride   Sweet sweet poison dressed in ermine and lace   And the weatherman's calling for champagne and rain   Always center stage at the scene of the crime   A cruel joke dressed up just like a valentine      So you might as well laugh 'cause you can't dance   When you're on your knees   Begging for mercy      I can see you're havin' bad times   Oooo so bad   Nothing rhymes   I can see you're havin' bad times   She's no misdemeanor   She's a felony crime   I can see you're havin' bad times   Oooo so bad so bad   Nothing rhymes   I can see you're havin' bad times   One day in her hard books is like doing bad time      Funny how you always want it   Just one more time   When she wins   That's when you lose   On a good day you'll walk away   Still wearing your old shoes      I can see you're havin' bad times   Oh so bad   Nothing rhymes   I can see you're havin' bad times   She's all fancy wrapping but nothing's inside   I can see you're havin' bad times   There ain't no bargain prices for a downhill ride      I can see you're havin' bad times   Oooo so bad   I can see you're havin' bad times   She's all fancy wrapping but nothing's inside   I can see you're havin' bad times   Oooo so bad so bad   Nothing rhymes   I can see you're havin' bad times
