Ounce Of Your Cruelty

You're a waitress who hung out

With the customers too long now

It seems the curtain's closed

And the lights are on

I guess there's going to be no encore for us

You're a mystery in the street

and the men would pay good currency

And you let them down so softly

For an ounce of your cruelty, you would

Leave your house keys in my door

And they'd fit because you want them to

Such coincidence, it always befalls you

It gets so far beyond comedy that

How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane

now ?

Could you just have a heart ?

Give me an ounce of your cruelty, could you

There's a whistle in the street

There's a night so cloaked with secrecy

But I'm keeping my nose clean

I've drawn the curtains closed

Until it's summer and these crickets wake me

And your breath will light the dawn

But you'll wake up with a thorn in your side

Hey it's only me, you should turn it around

And wake me up with your cruelty

How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane

now ?

Could you just have a heart ?

Give me an ounce of your cruelty

How can I play that part when I'm jogging in your slow lane

now

Could you just have a heart ?

Give me an ounce of your cruelty

And you'll leave it alone and let it rot

An ounce of your cruelty means

You'll stay at home

And deprive me of your pleasure

Hey could you do that ?

No way around it
