END OF THE SHOW
I leaned over and gave her a kiss
it blew up in my face
I didn't even know her name
the party was dark and crowded

smoke was pouring out of the kitchen
I was thinking 'bout the price of admission
I was waiting for that knock on the door
feeling like I'd lived through it all before

when Little Teddy stood up from the couch
and he said, Maria is killing me
you gotta see her in bloody black leather
she's a goddamn cat in heat

she's the meanest saddest girl
this town has ever sighed about
she 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

and just like that the night comes falling
before you're ready to think about it
when that fat crippled lady in the room upstairs
starts tuning up her banjo

and the preacher in the room downstairs
he's slapping on his midnight mascara
the fag bars are opening downtown
the moon gets us all high and yellow

and everybody's waiting to find that last drink
that last word to say
that last place to go
the end of the show

all night long
baby stay with me all night long

everybody's waiting to find that last drink
that last word to say
that last place to go
the end of the show
