Mace Spray

There's a place in the town, a statue
She'd make me wait beneath
But its magnif icent archways, archways
That's where I'd go to weep

I'm right up onto the counter
Showgirl, perfect the slow body-roll
And breakaway from the anger, oh, hoe
Just got to let it all go

But she loves me
More than anyone who wouldn't lay a hand
She keeps mace spray
For you can't rely on the common man

That night up under the starlight
Holly, you call, 'the great blistering blue'
A strange formation came down from the ceiling
And it began to move

And so the shattering shards of glass fell
And glistened this way and that
But she would say I won't find my way through the plaster
I'm an empty hourglass in the sand

But she loves me
More than anyone who wouldn't speak like that
She keeps mace spray
For you can't rely on the common man

But it is alright
Here in the time and the place I am
You leave a light on all night
Just to remind of the place I am
