Her Father And Her Lyrics - Adam Green

Father owned the dating bar so mother ran the store 

We all lived there together with the army at the door 

No one to do my laundry or to tell me that they're sure 

But there really is no me and there's no army at the door 

I hustle my way to your bedside 

I ride on your body like a cab ride 

I carry refreshments to the good guys 

I made the good guys some home fries 

Pardon me anyone, where is the nearest shore? 

We're all in this together and the police are at the door 

Someone do my laundry or smash me through the floor 

To the tropical vacation buried underneath the store 

And I was your favorite bullfighter 

Whose looks were new to your eyes 

And I fell apart in that bullfight 

Where the dress was the sky to your thighs 

She said that she had an hour 

Her father, he was in the shower 

And she took me to her little tower 

And she showed me her little flower 

And just when I thought it was safe to put down my pen 

She said, "Maybe I will let you fall in love with me again 

Maybe I will let you fall for a loving me again" 

And she showed me her badge and I think she said then 

That I don't have the heart to tell you not to come 

And everyone has hands just to use someone 

And it makes me feel just like old gum 

To ride a fake horse into town 

To ride a lame horse into town 

To ride a dead horse into town 

To ride your big fuckin', fake fuckin' 

Lame fuckin' dead horse into town
