The Divorce Songtext
von Cop Shoot Cop

She had just busted out of the whorehouse and was looking for a drink
To celebrate the divorce
She told him she was going for smokes
And never looked back
The sky was bloodshot as she stumbled into the bar
Sowing eyes lit up like cigarettes
Cockroaches were gasping for breath
She selects her poison and brings it to her lips
A song like drunken sailors from a sunken ship
She thinks power comes to them that enjoy the thrill of fear
A sign says if you′re looking for answers
You won't find them here
Everyone is leaving
All the widows grieving
Hear the siren laughing
And the truck brakes groaning
All the subways screaming
All the junkies dreaming
Now a shadow′s falling
It's just your lover calling


She grinds out a cigarette in a souvenir ashtray
Reaches for the bottle
But there's nothing left
Says buy me a drink and I′ll tell you a story
But the bitch at the bar wouldn′t sell you a smile
She closes her eyes and thinks of a wish she once had
A dwindling spark of memory
She wants to wipe it clean
Scrape away the debris
"Can I get you something?"
It's a man in the periphery
The keys are in his hand
She searches her pockets for a match or a reason
He slams some money on the bar
They make it to his car
Everyone is leaving
All the widows grieving
Hear the siren laughing
And the truck brakes groaning
All the subways screaming
All the junkies dreaming
Now the shadow′s falling
It's just your lover calling
When you put your hand in your pocket
Looking for a match or something to say
Life seems like a re-run
Everything coming up clichés
Suicide comes on like a plan
Seems like the bad times never end
Close your eyes and think of home
Movements are slow and tragic
Solemn prayers from a dying soul
Science without that magic
Children shouldn′t play with guns
Flashes of pain are fading fast
Echoes of each sad song have passed
Close your eyes and think of home
