Stripes Songtext
von Lucy Angel

You were lyin′ there with nothin' on
But a goofy little grin and a platinum blonde
I can′t believe you'd do that on our bed
Well, I got a pistol and I got a bullet
And a pissed off finger just itchin' to pull it
The only thing keepin′ me from losin′ my head

Is I hate stripes
And orange ain't my color
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight
I′ll be wearin' one or the other
There′s no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don′t look good in orange and I hate stripes

Well, I could fall in love with a prison guard
I could sell cigarettes in the prison yard
Don't think hard time would be that hard on me
Well, I could pick up trash on the side of the road
But I'd die if I saw someone I know
Ain′t the chains, it′s the clothes that's stoppin′ me


'Cause I hate stripes
And orange ain′t my color
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight
I'll be wearin′ one or the other
There's no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don′t look good in orange and I hate stripes

Oh, and one shot
Ain′t worth a bad mugshot
God knows I wouldn't be caught holdin′ up a number
While the whole town's starin′ at the picture
In the paper of me wearin' stripes

No, there′s no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don't look good in orange and I hate stripes
And orange ain′t my color
And if I squeeze that trigger tonight
I′ll be wearin' one or the other
There′s no crime of passion worth a crime of fashion
The only thing savin' your life
Is that I don′t look good in orange and I hate stripes
