THE RED HAIRED BARTENDER
SINGS A COUNTRY SONG

SHE'S GOT EYES LIKE MIRRORS
REFLECTING
FAILURES OF THE WORLD

AND THE SOUND OF HER VOICE
IS A KIND OF PRAYER
THAT MAKES THINGS EASIER

LOTTA SLIGHTLY LIMPS
AND WE CAN HARDLY PAY

IS OUR DEFEAT
PREMEDITATED?

BUT THE SOUND OF HER VOICE
IS A KIND OF PRAYER
AND MY BELLY ACHES

THE SOUND OF HER VOICE
IS A KIND OF PRAYER
THAT CARRIES ME AWAY
