The rent just went on entertainment She's got enough stuff to get real tough Well she's the girl who plays The holiday is over, the honeymoon is over The trust is rusted, the link's been busted The sounds of my breath, what do you expect The ghost of the picture still haunts the master
I suppose you'd say she made a fool of me Oh, but she has authority
Days full of music, nights full of music I try my best but I transgressed The chances are used up, the finances used up Letters are returned, lovers are spurned The signs of disaster, I wouldn't put it past her The stale perfume in her old room
I suppose you'd say she made a slave of me Oh, but she has authority
The curtain comes down and the circus leaves town The world keeps spinning, people keep sinning And all the rest is just bullshit The shadow's getting longer, the widow's gettin' younger The luxury of pity, babe this wasn't pretty Life is a tangle, a one night triangle Some tangle of life limbs (??) You sleep like a baby precious as a ruby
I suppose you'd say she made a slave of me Oh, but she had authority
