Cheap perfume, and painted faces
fallen angels fill the places
wher I go when my troubles bring me down
All the lies, I know they'll tell me
and the time that they will sell me
for a while I'll be the
biggest man in town.
Back at home
in bed, she's crying
For her love for me is dying
But she'll pray I make it
safely through the night
When the morning sun starts showing
to her bedside I'll be going
And she'll hold me
while I face the morning light
And I'll make promises
promises to change.
I'll make her promises,
swear I'll rearrange,
and I'll start giving all the
love she needs, if only she
will stay.
Once again, she'll reassure me.
And I believe her love will cure me,
and I'll fall asleep
with tears on my face.
And I know she's just a woman,
and her love can't last forever.
And someday soon, I know
she'll leave without a trace.
For, broken promises will
tear her dreams apart.
Just token promises will someday
break her heart,
and for the last time,
she'll hold me when I cry,
and while I'm sleeping...
she'll quietly say goodbye...
