Another wrong goodbye and a hundred sailors
That deep blue sky is my home

She always had that little drop of poison
She left in the fall, thats her picture on the wall
She always had that little drop of poison
A rat always knows when hes in with weasels
Here you lose a little every day
I remember when a million was a million
They all have ways to make you pay
They all have ways to make you pay
