Mascara Tears

When I said those things I was out of my mind
I was trying to be mean and cruel and unkind
Dont take it too hard
Theres another man inside me wants to break us apart
You were chic off the peg, bang up to the minute
I had to put my big foot in it
Dont shout it all about
Theres another man inside me and he wants to get out
Mascara tears, bitter and black
A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back
Salt for the memory, black for the years
Black as forever, mascara tears
Theres hell and hoodoo in your kitchen
Youve got to scratch the place youre itching
How long will it take
Theres another girl inside you and she never got a break
Mascara tears, bitter and black
A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back
Salt for the memory, black for the years
Black as forever, mascara tears
You just moan and weep and moan and weep
Dirty rivers running down your face
Tears all down your party face
Mascara tears, bitter and black
A spent bullet drilled a hole in my back
Salt for the memory, black for the years
Black as forever, mascara tears
