Move away from the door son, she's not leaving
She's not going anywhere
She's not screwing him, she's too tired
You heard the gunshots before it was fired
You heard the taxi in the driveway at 4 in the morning
As you lie awake, you see the bags under her eyes
Now, what does she get from telling lies?

Here's some money, here's some tobacco
Can we forget this ever happened?
(Whatever happened?)

Look around, it's a one horse town
Everyone knows your business here
Under the same roof, there are no secrets
Under the sun she hands out leaflets
Under the stars she cuts his hair
and cleans his house, it's professional
She gets paid to build it special
I'm just paranoid and impressionable

Cut the employees and drop the investors
Don't crack my shell with maternal gestures
(repeated)

Don't crack my shell, no no no.
