that girl you were seein' back in '72
somethin' 'bout a hotel room and bath water in your shoes
were you into your catholic thing then or some other stew
were you both holed up in that hotel room practicing voodoo
it'll come to you
don't look back
it'll come to you
in the middle of the night
with you covers pulled up tight
it'll come to you
and that business partner you took for every red cent
you can't even remember where all of that money went
some on liquor and women
maybe a little rent
but as far as paying it back
buddy
you ain't made a dent
yes they'll all be standin' 'round you in your sleep
askin' for a promise you couldn't keep
'cause back when you were hollow inside
you were tryin' to puff yourself up with your own foolish pride
now you're happily married with a wife and kids of you're own
but sometimes in the closet at night you can hear them rattlin' bones
takin' bets on your future and your current postal zone
it's a spooky equation
but check out yourself
jack
you're the great unknown
