She's Your Lover Now - Studio Outtake - 1966

The pawnbroker roared
 Also, so, so did the landlord
 The scene was so crazy, wasn't it?
 Both were so glad
 To watch me destroy what I had
 Pain sure brings out the best in people, doesn't it?
 Why didn't you just leave me if you didn't want to stay?
 Why'd you have to treat me so bad?
 Did it have to be that way...?
 Now you stand here expectin' me to remember somethin' you forgot to say
 Yes, and you, I see you're still with her, well
 That's fine 'cause she's comin' on so strange, can't you tell?
 Somebody had better explain
 She's got her iron chain
 I'd do it, but I, I just can't remember how
 You talk to her
 She's your lover now
 I already assumed
 That we're in the felony room
 But I ain't a judge, you don't have to be nice to me
 But please tell that
 To your friend in the cowboy hat
 You know he keeps on sayin' ev'rythin' twice to me
 You know I was straight with you
 You know I've never tried to change you in any way
 You know if you didn't want to be with me
 That you, didn't have to stay
 Now you stand here sayin' you forgive and forget, honey, what can I say?
 Yes, you, you just sit around and ask for ashtrays, can't you reach?
 I see you kiss her on the cheek ev'rytime she gives a speech
 With her picture books of the pyramid
 And her postcards of Billy the Kid
 Why must everybody bow?
 You better talk to her 'bout it
 You're her lover now
 Oh, ev'rybody that cares
 Is goin' up the castle stairs
 But I'm not up in your castle, honey
 It's true, I just can't recall
 San Francisco at all
 I can't even remember El Paso, uh, honey
 You never had to be faithful
 I didn't want you to grieve
 Oh, why was it so hard for you
 If you didn't want to be with me, just to leave?
 Now you stand here while your finger's goin' up my sleeve
 An' you, just what do you do anyway?
 Ain't there nothin' you can say?
 She'll be standin' on the bar soon
 With a fish head an' a harpoon
 An' a fake beard plastered on her brow
 You'd better do somethin' quick
 She's your lover now
 I must fall into the sadness, do I look like Charles?
 Do you think I still got, what you used to got baby?
 A voice is really warm, it's just and got it a new form
 But if Jazz is like a dead man, let's press stop baby
 All your mind used to be... So make your eyes used to be so blue
 You heard, you used to be so meaningless, and your tears used to be so full
 Now your mouth cries...
 What?
