You Should've Told Me

I sit here all alone & I'm feeling green I press play on your godamn phone machine His nasal wine follows me through the door His teeth are so nice they'd look good on the floor

You should've told me They should've told me Christ you should've told me after all those years I spent praying on my knees in a room Back in Palm Springs

I pull the letter box from beneath your bed & I look through all the lines he said About how he would taste you, tempt you & tease you Twist you around like a circus balloon Heal you, feel you & take your ass out to the zoo

You should've told me They should've told me Christ you should've told me after all those years I spent praying on my knees in a room Back in Palm Springs
I follow you down to the banks of the river I pull my razor from my boot as I shiver You turn around and "Hey it's a beautiful night" I hold the razor to your neck in the pale moonlight
You should've told me They should've told me Christ you should've told me after all those years I spent praying on my knees in a room Back in Palm Springs

Morning comes & the sun, it hurts my eyes I've long stopped hearing the sound of your muffled cries The water is pink & it moves with the tide Well don't worry honey-I'm right here by your side

You should've told me They should've told me Christ you should've told me after all those years I spent praying on my knees in a room Back in Palm Springs
This can't be heaven, must've took a wrong turn 'Cause it sure feels like hell
