Slaughter House

My friend says she knows a man who wants her to go with him

And I’m so glad I could see her, just to tell me she’s leaving

And her friends say they know the man who makes me look rife with sin

And I’m so mad I could see her just the way that she has been

In and out, slaughter house, send your doubts into the sea

The knife says she knows a can who makes her look right for tin

If I want to I can see her, and she knows what’s happening

I made another bad mistake, and it takes I told you so and just throws it out the window

In and out, slaughter house, send your doubts into the sea

Got your doubts, got my slaughter house but I said, “Ain’t no better money,”

Take my time it ain’t no sweat of mine, so I say “Some day you’ll think its funny,”

I can’t hang around I’m goin’ west and down (at the ground), straight to the heart of the sea

Got your doubts about my slaughter house, and I thought you were a smarter hussy

I guess it makes her feel real good, I guess that makes me feel O.K.

But if I acted like I should, I guess that feeling would go away

But I won’t be selfish; she ain’t the type that you hold out on

She’ll make a cloud so dark I’m bringing an umbrella, in the pines I’ll shiver all night long
