Oh, a TV went off like three day old milk
  That shook this town down better than most
  And it always was less of an idea and more of a boast
  Oh, you're burning in the bloom of life
  Till you're powder in the grave
  Or you're pounding in the counter begging for more
  Till you evaporate
  You'd forgive her anything
  If you look like you, my pretty miss
  I wonder where you are tonight
  And this place becomes pitiless?
  
  Oh, I couldn't sleep, but I can't complain
  Oh, this won't hurt a bit, oh, this won't hurt again
  When the roof comes down and the walls move in
  Oh, he didn't know it could feel like that
  And your face turned away and the day turned black
  And the rain fell like a curtain
  Oh, it's my turn to begin
  To forgive her anything
  
  You'd forgive her anything
  If you knew what I know
  You'd forgive her anything
  So where did all my pride go?
  
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh
  
  Oh, oh, oh, oh, you'd forgive her anything
  If you knew what I know
  You'd forgive her anything
  So where did all my pride go?
