Leaned over and gave her a kiss,
She blew up in my face
I didn't even know her name,
Outside the party was dark and cloudy
Smoke was pouring out of the kitchen
I was thinking bout the price of admission
Waitin' for the knock on the door
Feelin like I'd been there before

Teddy stood up from the couch and said
"Maria's killing me,
You oughta see her dressed in body black leather,
She's a Goddamned cat in heat.
She's the meanest, saddest girl
This whole town is ever sighed about
Only comes out at night
Fallen angel under the streetlight
Crooked straight, she's filthy innocent
I'd rather cut myself than forget about her"

Oh, the sky had fallen
There was no doubt about it
Fat crippled lady in the room upstairs
Practicing her banjo.
Preacher in the room downstairs
Putting on his midnight mascara
There's a fag bar opening downtown
His rooms are sharp and yellow

Everybody's waiting to find the last drink
The last word to say
The last place to go
The end of the show
