Come Monday morning
You may find me dead

In a motel closet

Oh, this is the life that I lead

Oh, this is the life they chose to lead"

How else could she explain

Why I am going to hell

Oh, I must be under something else’s spell

Oh, I hope you’re staying very far from town"

If you don’t count me

I’ve got a big hole in my heart

And spent a year just watching it bleed
