One Word Songtext
von Get Him Eat Him

Take me, take me home, oh
There′s no one I know
Suffered to stay low
Haircuts and halos
Set apart and spare take
A hand fits a shake
A cigarette break
A minor mistake


But tonight was a neon sign with the last letter missing
A neighborhood tied to one word
An all night diner closed at a quarter to 12
A cat call called out of a cash hotel
Cut loose, set up for a sinking spell
Six miles, sick with the city smell
It died tonight, it died tonight, it died tonight
Shake it, shake it out now

I set up the show
I set my sights low
Texas and talk shows
Better off in bed make
A silent spit take
A fidgeted fake
A lying awake

But tonight was a neon sign with the last letter missing
A neighborhood done in by one word
An all night diner closed at a quarter to 12
A cat call called out of a cash hotel
Cut loose, set up for a sinking spell
Six miles, sick with the city smell


It died tonight, it died tonight
It died tonight, it died tonight
It died tonight, it died tonight
