Rotting fruit on the table
Is that an apple or a pear?
He falls out of bed
With her nails still in his hair
She looked like a bunny rabbit
With an art deco flair
Her eyes said I'll slap ya
But I won't really care
A genocide in the other room
His place was a tomb last night
She dripped candle wax across his back
That he didn't try to fight
And with no money left to give
She dove out the window without a sight
And he lay on his bed
Unscrewed his head and turned to close the light
And as the night went down the drain
He felt he'd gone insane
She held her end of the bargain
But she did it so inhumane
With his body wrapped in cellophane
His brain caught in a hurricane
He left his house that morning with nowhere to complain

Doesn't want to be seen but wears a ten-gallon hat
Only wants love when it won't come back
Keeps his shoes so clean but his shirt is a sack
Every single smile feels like an attack
Doesn't want to be seen but wears a ten-gallon hat
Only wants love when it won't come back
Keeps his shoes so clean but his shirt is a sack
Every single smile feels like an attack
Only wants love when it won't come back
Every single smile feels like an attack
Only wants love when it won't come back
Every single smile feels like an attack

The block he walked was a broke
And downtrodden favela
A thief was selling turquoise
And black cherry vanilla
Above shards of glass he asked the thief
If he'd seen the woman go
And the thief just laughed with an arrogant mask
Saying "wouldn't you like to know?"
Turning his back he ran for the fields
Where the stained glass starts to grow
His body, it was made of flesh and twigs
Wrapped in an elegant bow
As it all collapsed he felt the weight of the world
Fall to the ground
Calling out for help but no one watching
Heard a sound

Doesn't want to be seen but wears a ten-gallon hat
Only wants love when it won't come back
Keeps his shoes so clean but his shirt is a sack
Every single smile feels like an attack
Doesn't want to be seen but wears a ten-gallon hat
Only wants love when it won't come back
Keeps his shoes so clean but his shirt is a sack

You see your eyes in the mirror
Live two lives it seems
They only loved you for who
They wanted you to be
Set expectations, built an image
And you cried out "that's not me"
And when you failed to live up
They just sighed and set you free

Doesn't want to be seen but wears a ten-gallon hat
Only wants love when it won't come back
Keeps his shoes so clean but his shirt is a sack
Every single smile feels like an attack
Doesn't want to be seen but wears a ten-gallon hat
Only wants love when it won't come back
Keeps his shoes so clean but his shirt is a sack
Every single smile feels like an attack
Only wants love when it won't come back
Every single smile feels like an attack
Only wants love when it won't come back
Every single smile feels like an attack
