Never I Will Songtext
von David Poe

You had a look down your nose
At my Christmas clothes
You had a drink on me in my shabby suit
And while the night was turning black
You refused to get inside the cab
And leave downtown Beirut
I threw your cape around your shoulders
And in a voice that sounded older
Than the heads of state you hated
And you said you wanted me to kill

I said I don′t know you
Though I wanted to
If I don't know you now
Never I will, never I will
Never I will


First you sold your family heirlooms and your manners
For a trinket that they said would bring you luck
Then you gave your prudent body
To a sailor on shore leave
From a ship he called the Fortunate One
When you traveled ′cross the sea
Then decided you'd come home to me
But I was hanging 'neath a dead tree
On a green hill

Because I don′t know you
Though I wanted to
If I don′t know you now
Never I will, never I will
Never I will

Honey, you're the bad queen
A star up on a screen
You swallowed down a choking potion
All the personality pills

And I don′t know you
If I wanted to
If I don't know you now
Never I will, never I will
Never I will


I tried to apologize
And honey, that is when you came in for the kill
And when I tried to win you back
You took a rifle from your rack
And I danced ′til you had your fill
And when you see me on the road
You summon up your moral code
You got something to prove to me still
