If every lover that you'd ever known
Could turn around would you take one?
Or would you really rather be alone
And fool around if and when you might please
Well, I don't know babe if you ever have been told
But you're a tough one to play for
I tried to be what you were looking for
Now I'm not sure if you ever really knew
You know the world won't wait, babe, you're crying too late
And you're drinking on borrowed time
And the last thing you need is me and my weeping wine
You sit around sticking pins in dolls
What's there to fall down and die for?
You're looking fine baby it's well known
Why does your story have to be so short?
Well, pretty soon babe you're gonna show your age
Because you're drinking on borrowed time
And then the last thing you need is me and my weeping wine
You know the world won't wait, babe you're crying too late
You're drinking on borrowed time
And the last thing you need is me and my weeping wine
I've got a little piece of paper with your name written on it
I've got a head full of attitude and nowhere to put it
Tell me, why don't you come down to Ruemorgue Avenue
Why don't you come down
Soil your pretty feet on the dirty ground of Ruemorgue Avenue
Well there's a chapel on the corner where I'm doing my crying
There's a limit to my patience, what do you say, Fay, let's get married
down on Ruemorgue Avenue
They say the world keeps on turning, and everything remains the same
Well my heart's burning and I say everything must change
Why don't you come down to Ruemorgue Avenue
Why don't you come down
Soil your pretty feet on the dirty ground of Ruemorgue Avenue
Rita Mae, tell your sister she's unkind
Tell your sister, well, I don't mind
Tell your sister, she's got mine
I got a four letter word, starts with the letter L
Can't bring myself to say it because it's making my life hell
Why don't you come down to rue morgue avenue
Because I've been drinking all night and all day
Just trying to picture your sweet face
Down on Ruemorgue Avenue
Rita Mae, tell your sister she's unkind
Tell your sister, well, I don't mind
Tell your sister, she knows where, where I lie
Down on Ruemorgue Avenue
