Best Face

Shock after shock from the snake she bites
Happy hour downtown ladies night
With your townie boys who make your brethren fight
Night after night after night after night go
Come on sweetheart come on sweetheart oh
It's an eye for any eye 'neath the hurricane sky
How will you find me a lover in time
With your muscle vest clad lads who nearly fight
Close off your senses and turn out the light
Turn out the lights
She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want
Heed this sound advice
No don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skit's the same but the face is new oh-oh
All the crying tarts who step on broken hearts are all you get
The drinks go on and the beat's resounding
The drinks go on and the beat's still sounding
Come on darling, come on darling, come on sweetheart oh
You look pretty, pretty fit
For a pedestrian pounding
This nightclub's still shit,
But be wary of the gypsy boy you're mounting
She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want
Heed this sound advice
No don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skit's the same but the face is new oh-oh
The best that's what you'll get before
The walk of shame tomorrow
And the beat goes on the beat goes on
Your monkey lot
They tumble around
You dance your fucking swan song
You dance your fucking swan song
You dance your fucking swan song
To a blundering oracle
So here's to your future
And your awful wedded wife
She had the best face in the place
She had the lip gloss and the grace
There's really nothing in the script she said
You can have what you want
Heed this sound advice
No don't you tell me any lies
Look into these eyes, they see right through
Well, the skit's the same but the face is new oh-oh
