Springsfield's Wife (Side B) Lyrics

So he steps into another home

Where he hopes to find a place to find

Although the faith's been lying to him

Every morning's a harder than the night

Springfield's wife was just someone who

Was sick and died right away

Which was the only fact he needed

Straight out of the shop, blacked out for days

Oh no, I won't do this, he said

I was just a black-eyed stranger

So don't you just walk away

Tell me I'm drunk on believe

But believe has a heart inside

Believe has a heart inside

He opened the door and saw her

Not surprised what she was at the time

He entered the room and saw her shout

Waiting while the woman was always the same

Springfield's wife was just someone who

Was sick and died right away

Which was the only fact he needed

Straight out of the shop, blacked out for days

Oh no, I won't do this, he said

I was just a black-eyed stranger

So don't you just walk away

Tell me I'm drunk on believe

But believe has a heart inside

Believe has a heart inside

Her dotting feet, she's smiling, she breathes

The cigarette smell, it smells so well

And her exhale, it makes her growl

They try hard to drown, it looks like a clown

And she obeys them now, maybe in a shower

Remembering glimpses of the man that she misses

Oh no, I won't do this, he said

I was just a black-eyed stranger

So don't you just walk away

Tell me I'm drunk on believe

But believe has a heart inside

Believe has a heart inside

But no, how it ends

Like the one you say, it should be done

They had just waited too long

For each other to fall

And he'd do it as the first

He knows for the last time

While holding out In the shade of the flower

Reason to be damned

Thanks for watching
