Neon Cross

Money, oh I can't seem to get it fast enough
Runnin', I've been runnin' my whole damn life
And I think that it's catchin' up
They're gonna nail me to a neon cross

All these honky-tonks and strangers
How they tumble through the door
Well the evenin' speaks my language
And the dancers paint the floor

So sad, goddamn, I'm wearing some pitiful perfume
Dark glasses, gold liquor, jukeboxes and alligator shoes
Oh poor me, oh poor me
You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross
You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross

Funny, how the big fish always calls my bluff
Honey, keep me in your thoughts, 'cause I know that it's almost done
It was fun for a minute or too
But now you've thought it through
So I guess that we can call it even

They say love is here to teach me
But it kills me slow and easy
And I know you got my number
But the check still reads my name

So sad, goddamn, I'm wearing some pitiful perfume
Dark glasses, gold liquor, jukeboxes and alligator shoes
Oh poor me, oh poor me
You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross

So sad, goddamn, I'm wearing some pitiful perfume
Dark glasses, gold liquor, jukeboxes and alligator shoes
Oh poor me, oh poor me
You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross

You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross
You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross
You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross
You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross
You don't love me
Why don't you nail me to a neon cross
