A tongue-in-cheek joke about a relationship gone ugly, OLD LADY BLUES is a bluesy attempt at deeply dark pop song.
lyrics
This ain't no time to
take your lady out.
Take her out for a night on the town.
It ain't no crime to
lock your baby outside.
Ain't no sense to
knock your lady out.
Knock her out in the back of the head.
First offense to
knock your lady out till she's dead.
You're feeling like a hero
cause you can't stop marking time.
One false step, there's nothing left.
Life's turned on a dime.
And you just wonder why...
There ain't no time to
chase your baby now.
Chase her out to the "night on the town."
But it ain't no crime to
chase your lady outside.
Look at all those happy people
They all look just like me.
Staring, judging, condemning.
Unrivaled misery.
And I got no place to be...
Ain't no time to
bust your baby out.
Take her out for a night on the town.
Ain't no crime to
knock your baby out cold.
Look at all those happy people
They all look just like me.
Face all scrunched, fingers crossed
Resin on my sleeve.
And rug burns on my knees.
There ain't no time to
chase your baby now.
Chase her out to the "night on the town."
But it ain't no crime to
chase your lady outside.
There ain't no time to
take your lady out.
Take her out for a night on the town.
It ain't no crime to
lock your baby outside.
