[Verse]
G
Leaned over and gave her a kiss,
G
She blew up in my face
D
I didn't even know her name,
D
Outside the party was dark and cloudy
G
Smoke was pouring out of the kitchen
G
I was thinking bout the price of admission
D
Waitin' for the knock on the door
D
Feelin like I'd been there before

G
Teddy stood up from the couch and said
G
"Maria's killing me,
D
You oughta see her dressed in body black leather,
D
She's a Goddamned cat in heat.
G
She's the meanest, saddest girl
G
This whole town is ever sighed about
D
Only comes out at night
D
Fallen angel under the streetlight
G
Crooked straight, she's filthy innocent
G
I'd rather cut myself than forget about her"

G
Oh, the sky had fallen
G
There was no doubt about it
D
Fat crippled lady in the room upstairs
D
Practicing her banjo.
G
Preacher in the room downstairs
G
Putting on his midnight mascara
D
There's a fag bar opening downtown
D
His rooms are sharp and yellow
G
Everybody's waiting to find the last drink
G
The last word to say
D
The last place to go
D
The end of the show
