Up Until Then 歌詞

Up Until Then - John Gorka

They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot

 

Who was looking for a man of steel

 

Who would fill up her nights with forget me nots

And a dream no one else could reveal

 

Her new man said to meet him at eight

 

She came in dressed to the nines

But by ten it was clear he was more than late

And she just wouldn't take it this time

 

The bartender said she had had enough

 

That he'd call a cab to take her somewhere

 

But she wasn't a stranger to loneliness

 

She had grown up and spent her life there

Up until then

Up until then

 

It happened over and over again

 

Up until then

Up until then

Up until then

 

Well practice had increased her tolerance

She had hardly eaten all day

 

She was all hyped up on her new romance

But she drank in the usual way

 

She stepped out to breathe and to dry her eyes

 

To check her machine just in case

 

He had called to excuse or apologize

When she saw his unpenitent face

 

He approached with a girl she had seen before

A bimbo up from raspberry street

 

Whe he saw her he laughed and so did the whore

They dropped a ten dollar bill at her feet

Up until then

Up until then

 

It happened over and over again

Up until then

Up until then

Up until then

 

She was small he was tall but she blocked his path

She explained in unprintable words

 

The reason she seized him so full of wrath

That more than half of the neighborhood heard

 

She sprayed him with mace from her pocketbook

And then kicked in his personal zones

 

Her high heels would ruin his perfect looks

She left a couple of unbroken bones

 

Well the bimbo she ran in to get the cops

But the owner had called from the bar

It took two cars with dogs just to make her stop

I'm told that's how some women are

Up until then

Up until then

 

It happened over and over again

 

Up until then

Up until then

Up until then

 

They dropped a dime on the girl in the parking lot

 

But she would suffer in no permanent way

 

She spent 30 nights on a County cot

And she's regarded with fear 'till this day

Up until then but never again

 

It happened over and over again

 

Up until then

Up until then

Up until then

 

Now she's tending bar where the pagans used to meet

 

And he's living with that bimbo up on raspberry street
