Love Lies Bleeding (She Was A Wicked Wily Waitress) - The Cross

Come on, come on

She was a waitress she looked real tine

The little temptress was so divine

A symphony of cheap perfume and pretty stale red wine

She can wait upon my table anytime

She was poetry in motion

Stiletto heels and nylons she moved up to the table

I could see she had a burger with my fries on

Love lies bleeding, listen to this, love lies bleeding

Well we parked outside a city bank

We found it all real funny

The car was running on all tanks and we stole all the money

She was a wicked wily waitress and she should be doing time

She was an ordinary waitress now she owns her own goldmine

How 'bout that

Love lies bleeding, now listen to this, love lies bleeding

She was a rebel without a cause

She was a girl who needed applause

Love in the future, love in the past

Love lies bleeding in our path

Would you believe that it gets worse

She had a loud theatrical whisper

I had a one way ticket to Palookaville

She had an equally dangerous sister

I was out of my league, they were in for the kill

She was a wicked wily waitress

And I gave her all my trust

She took the loot, gave me the boot

Now she’s rich and I’m flat bust

Yeah love lies bleeding

Now that was the limit because

She was a rebel without a cause

She was a girl who needed applause

Love in the future, love in the past

Love in the future, love in the past

Love lies bleeding in our path

I dreamed this world was quite alright

And everyone meant well

When I awoke to my surprise

I found myself in hell
