but all eyes were on the catwalk 
where a dance was groovin high 
she licked her lips and shagged her heels 
as she went movin' by 

(one drink) 
<?>boiler maker</?> 
(two drinks) 
it was jack' and coke 
(three drinks) 
he's headin' for 'er 
he should be headin for the door 

he knew he'd known her once before 
but the name he could not guess 
just tossed her top on a hungry cop 
showed the tatoo on her chest 
she dyed her hair and changed her smile 
but the gal was still the same 
and though he'd been a thousand miles 
his heart still felt the pain 
that was her, the women that taught him how to hurt 
tatoos showed the names of the men left in the dirt

her zipper zip while he just sipped 
and the tempereture was on the rise 
he got up fast and downed his glass 
there was fire in his eyes 
clentched his fist and shoved his stool 
he couldn't keep his rage 
downed his glass then got up fast 
and headed for the stage 

The bar-keep grabbed the telephone 
the doorman pulled a gun 
pushed him down and fired a round 
the music stopped - 

-the crowd was stunned

the smoke-litin' 
the lights came on  
her body on the floor 
dropped to her side 
and then he cried 
was the girl he knew before 
he touched her cold the story told 
the life went from her eye 
sierens screamed and then it seemed 
that it was no suprise 
tears mixed with her blood and then he 
ran out of the bar 
no matter how far he ran that night 
her face was never far 

one drink
