ten cent pistol

well

he ran around

late at night

holding hands

making light

of everything

that came before

but there she was

behind the door

she hit them with her ten cent pistol

because they ruined her name

well

she hit them with her ten cent pistol

and they've never been the same

there's nothing worse

in this world

than payback from a

jealous girl

the laws of man

they don't apply

when blood gets in

a woman's eye

well

she hit them with her ten cent pistol

because they ruined her name

well

she hit them with her ten cent pistol

and they've never been the same

stars did fall

thunder rolled

bugs crawled back

in their holes

the couple screamed

but it was far too late

cause a jealous heart

did retaliate

she hit them with her ten cent pistol

because they ruined her name

well

she hit them with her ten cent pistol

and they've never been the same
