The last of the guests are leaving And there's a bottle of red wine still breathing Out on the patio What do you say we go out there and kill it And
Standin' at the mirror Rinsin' off my razor Wish I was still in bed You're sneakin' up behind me With nothin' but a towel on You start breathin' down
I looked for trouble and found it, son Straight down the barrel of a lawman's gun I'd try to run but I don't think I can If I move I'm a dead man (
The cool grass of the river bank We were lying there, we were soaking wet Feeling things we'd never felt We were jumping in deep as we could get That
