Got a match?
I could burn your ear
I’ve got a litle time on my hands
Got to smoke
Got to break your heart
Before someone else does

I caught a glimpse of a little girl
Behind the blackness of her eyes
I fell in love
She said she knew I would
As it rained on the parade

I never knew what was on her mind
I never got past second guess
I never asked ‘Could you be mine?’
And it rains on the parade

We got a place above an all night supermarket
No peace for the wicked
We made our bed and then we lay down on it
Without a word

And right there
Well she almost said it
But she just sucked it right back in
And what ever future that we might have had
Was just smoke between her lips

I never knew what was on her mind
I never got past second guess
I never asked ‘Could you be mine?’
I just rained on her parade

I never knew what was on her mind

Got a match?
I could burn your ear
I’ve got a litle time on my hands
Got to smoke
Got to break my heart
Before someone else does
