Roses and diesel don't mix. You can't just come and go. I sit around and wonder. Why I should be alone. . I know Venus came from Mars. And Venus sure could play guitar.
I don't know about you. I don't know about your life. She's living without you. She's living without your lies. . I knew she was all here. Could tell by the way she talked.
Trade you, my girlfriend, for your guitar. Know that string will only bend so far. Everybody sells me. Everybody tells me how. . 'Cause I'm feeling a little wired.
Got a message on the phone. She said let's meet I'm all alone. Do you want to see me die. Would you please stop by. . She knows I follow her around. Ever since she came to town.
It's in the headlines, it's making deadlines. It's all around me, it's hanging from the clothesline. It's on my TV, it's on my big screen. It's floating 'round in my second cup of coffee.
On a cold, rainy night in a town where nothing is new. I'm walking alone and I'm thinking of you. All I want is a friend and a smile and a bar with a view.
