Oh No!

Oh, no!
I had a thought and a feeling
I watched them fasten the noose
I wonder what to do
I wonder what to do
Oh, no!
Smirking the whole time Jim spoke
He doesn’t have a clue
I wonder what to do
I wonder what to do
Haven’t had a day alone
Haven’t had a day alone since I met you
Oh, no!
I talk it over with mother
I talk it through with the cops
They give us the same answer
Keep being careful and
Oh, no!
I’m lying if I’m talking
It’s what I don’t tell you
You wouldn’t like the truth
You wouldn’t like it
Haven’t had a day alone
Haven’t had a day alone since I met you
And it’s one eye on the banquet table
The other on the door
And everyone’s got reasons
But I don’t have the same ones
And it’s true
Oh, no!
Oh, no!
The metal wheel is spinning
I take a sip from a tube
In the glass I look pretty
Sawdust in my shoes
Oh, no!
Balancing on my head now
Awaiting a false move
I don’t know what to do
I don’t know what to do
Haven’t had a day alone
Haven’t had a day alone since I met you
And it’s one eye on the banquet table
The other on the door
And everyone’s got reasons
But I don’t have the same ones
And it’s true
Oh, no!
