Ronnie took a look in his wallet Patty took a look in the mirror Saturday night only comes once a week He went to a club to meet her not afraid of the weather Engine jus' purred like a kitten Knocked back a few, they got real loose They never knew what hit 'em (2x) No no Susie pops her pills She's chasin' perfection An' just when she thinks she's catchin' up It goes in the wrong direction now she's up on a table Betrayed by her own voice Deceived by a fable An' now she's got no choice She ain't got no choice Out cold in the middle Two lanes goin' separate ways Dumbstruck by the riddle Hair trigger always acts that way Sammy knows it's a poison Still he likes it poppin' up his nose Streets reek with these lessons Stone dead in the august snow Fast lane tonight Cold slab in the mornin' Honey, out go the lights Cause an' effect It don't give warnin'
