John Bates Songtext
von Kissinger

John Bates is going down
He wrote his last hot check
In a bankrupt town
His face won′t bounce
When it hits the ground
John Bates is going down

Anyone can see he's a Casanova
Pressed shirt in a glass pipe Chevy Nova
China red lipstick stain on the
Back of his neck
He slips the cassette to the deck

John Bates is going down
He wrote his last hot check
In a bankrupt town
His face won′t bounce
When it hits the ground
John Bates is going down


Studying that see-through lingerie
She'll take it off 'cause he came to pay
Hot rubber check bounce take a bath
She gives me a call
I let the machine say it all

Go!

John Bates is going down
He wrote his last hot check
In a bankrupt town
His face won′t bounce
When it hits the ground
John Bates is going down

John Bates is going down
He wrote his last hot check
In a bankrupt town
His face won′t bounce
When it hits the ground
John Bates is going down

John Bates is going down
He wrote his last hot check
In a bankrupt town
His face won't bounce
When it hits the ground
John Bates is going down
