Kim Mitchell Bad Times
She's a total disaster in the first degree
A pair of high-heeled blues waiting just for me
The lights are red and the money's blue
She lives down by the railroad avenue
And the same old dance steps to the same old song
Take a one way ride
It doesn't last too long
It's a lifetime sentence and no one ever gets free
Because she got the diamonds
And I got disease
Might as well laugh 'cause you can't dance
When you're on your knees
Begging for mercy
I can see you're havin' bad times
Oooo so bad
Nothing rhymes
I can see you're havin' bad times
Only one more line before it starts to unwind
I can see you're havin' bad times
So bad so bad so bad
Nothing rhymes
I can see you're havin' bad times
She's like a lying politician at election time
Front page headline and it's all bad news
A stiletto-heeled version of the walking blues
All fancy wrapping but nothing's inside
There's no bargain prices for a downhill ride
Sweet sweet poison dressed in ermine and lace
And the weatherman's calling for champagne and rain
Always center stage at the scene of the crime
A cruel joke dressed up just like a valentine
So you might as well laugh 'cause you can't dance
When you're on your knees
Begging for mercy
I can see you're havin' bad times
Oooo so bad
Nothing rhymes
I can see you're havin' bad times
She's no misdemeanor
She's a felony crime
I can see you're havin' bad times
Oooo so bad so bad
Nothing rhymes
I can see you're havin' bad times
One day in her hard books is like doing bad time
Funny how you always want it
Just one more time
When she wins
That's when you lose
On a good day you'll walk away
Still wearing your old shoes
I can see you're havin' bad times
Oh so bad
Nothing rhymes
I can see you're havin' bad times
She's all fancy wrapping but nothing's inside
I can see you're havin' bad times
There ain't no bargain prices for a downhill ride
I can see you're havin' bad times
Oooo so bad
I can see you're havin' bad times
She's all fancy wrapping but nothing's inside
I can see you're havin' bad times
Oooo so bad so bad
Nothing rhymes
I can see you're havin' bad times
