END OF THE SHOW

I leaned over and gave her a kiss
it blew up in my face
I didn't even know her name
the party was dark and crowded
smoke was pouring out of the kitchen
I was thinking about the price of admission
I was waiting for that knock on the door
feeling like I'd lived through it all before

when Teddy stoop up from the couch
and said, "Maria is killing me
you gotta see her in bloody black leather
she's a goddamn cat in heat
she's the meanest saddest girl
this town has ever sighed about
she only comes out at night
fallen angel under the streetlight
crooked straight she's filthy innocent
I'd rather cut myself than forget about her


oh and the night comes falling
before we're ready to think about it
when the fat crippled lady in the room upstairs
she's tuning up her banjo
and the preacher in the room downstairs
he's slapping on his midnight mascara
the fag bars are opening downtown
the moon is high and yellow

everybody's waiting to find the last drink
the last word to say
the last place to go
the end of the show
