Henry Rollins - A Man & A Woman Lyrics
A man and a woman locked in a hot apartment prisonTheyre in love, loveHes beatin that womans head against the fridgerator doorSlammin that womans head against the fridgerator doorTheyre in love, theyre in love, theyre in loveHes beatin that woman to an inch of her lifeBeatin that woman to an inch of her lifeBeatin that woman to an inch of her lifeThe heed and the hate, the heed and the hate, the heed and the hateThe heed and the hate make the windows sweat, make the windows sweatMakes the walls moan, moan, moan, moanNow outside in the hallway al the neighborsFrom all the other apartment building rooms have gathered in the hallwayAnd theyre all out there armed with their baseball bats and broomsListening to the man beat the woman to an inch of her lifeNow all the wise guys are in the back takin betsThe one man says,I say, hes gonna kill her, my moneys down that says hes gonna kill her.And the other man says,Hes not gonna kill her, hes gonna beat that woman to an inch of her life,Beat that woman to an inch of her life, beat that woman to an inch of herLife, beat that woman to an inch of her life. thats where my money is, soPut your money down, put your money down, put your money down.A little while later the cops comeAnd they come up the stairsAnd they see all the people gathered in the hallwaysWith their baseball bats and broomsSee the wise guys in the back throwin 5 dollar bills back and forthAnd they say,Alright, which room is it?And a few of the people point to the room at the end of the hallThe cops go over there and they kick the door inAnd they see the man beatin on the woman, slammin her head up against theWall, beatin that woman to an inch of her life.And they say,Hey man, why you beatin that woman to an inch of her life, why you beatinThat woman to an inch of her life, why you beatin that woman to an inch ofHer life?And, the man says, get this, the man says...,Thats no woman thats my wife,Thats no woman thats my wife,Thats no woman thats my wife,And when she screams she turns on all the apartment lights on.
