Mascara Tears Lyrics - Singles - Richard Thompson

When I said those things I was out of my mind 

I was trying to be mean and cruel and unkind 

Don't take it too hard 

There's another man inside me wants to break us apart 

You were chic off the peg, bang up to the minute 

I had to put my big foot in it 

Don't shout it all about 

There's another man inside me and he wants to get out 

Mascara tears, bitter and black 

A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back 

Salt for the memory, black for the years 

Black as forever, mascara tears

There's hell and hoodoo in your kitchen 

You've got to scratch the place you're itching 

How long will it take 

There's another girl inside you and she never got a break 

Mascara tears, bitter and black 

A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back 

Salt for the memory, black for the years 

Black as forever, mascara tears 

You just moan and weep and moan and weep 

Dirty rivers running down your face 

Tears all down your party face

Salt for the memory, black for the years 

Black as forever, mascara tears
