two people

two people under bed sheets

one unrelenting heartbeat

one unrequited belief

two fools in a one-horse town

two people under bed sheets

one wallowing in defeat

one crumbling under heat

two fools in a one-horse town

mmm

two people under bed sheets

one liar in the hot seat

why cry over a deadbeat?

two fools in a one-horse town

two people under bed sheets

one shivering with cold feet

one suffocating lover

one fool in a wedding gown

mmm

outside

the world is turning

a different life you're yearning

but you just sit there burning

lying in his fire

and all the while

you're learning

hope you're learning

but you just sit there burning

lying in his fire

two people under bed sheets

two fists to play around with

one has to keep a mouth shut

victims of a one-horse town

two people under bed sheets

one does whatever he pleases

and one tries to speak to jesus

but jesus won't hear a sound

mmm

outside

the world is turning

a different life you're yearning

but you just sit there burning

lying in his fire

and all the while

you're learning

hope you're learning

but you just sit there burning

lying in his fire

two people under bed sheets

two children raising children

the same mistakes keep building

it's a mess of a one-horse town

it's a mess of a one-horse town

it's a mess of a one-horse town

it's a mess of a one-horse town

it's a mess of a one-horse town
