Song Description

A man loses woman, woman sleeps with other man, first man can't stand it, loses his mind...

Lyrics

I'm far away and I'll never give in
far away

And oh I'm falling over you, I'm falling
and its cutting me through

Cause oh this rock city serenade
It ain't made to save you honey
It's made for you to see I'm through
with your type, no more embarrasements
from you tonight...

Knocking at your door
again 2:30 in the morn
ain't worth my time
And oh I'm sorry got to be this blunt
but fuck you and your new fuck friend too

Just so you know
I'm going to be alright
and you'll see, and you'll see

The static television
this black and white freckled night
storming into me
It's about that time
I either lose my mind or fight

Cause oh this rock city serenade
It's my lucky day you honey
the devils distilled, you're
drinking the swill. No upchuck,
just my luck
Once again in your room, this
filthiness must be removed and I
am your God.

And oh I'm falling over you, I'm falling
and cutting you through

the silver and the blue
catching me in her room
laying back
thinking happy, reading happy again
