"The Once Over Twice" lyrics

"The Once Over Twice"

I just heard the sad song by another band
Sung by another man, he gave me the once over twice
I said "when," he said "okay, so long"
He hung me with the endless rope

I could throw my lipstick and bracelets like gravel
And move to Alabama, I got some more scotch instead
Then I died a thousand times
He hung me with the endless rope

Then I died a thousand times maybe you don't
But I do, I got a hole in my heart
Size of my heart - size of my heart
He hung me with the endless rope

I'll see you and I'll raise you off the floor
I'll floor you and we'll dance without a band
I just heard the sad song, hang another man
He hung me with the endless rope

I just heard the sad song by another band
Sung by another man, he gave me the once over twice
I said "when," he said "okay, so long"
He hung me with the endless rope
