When A Man Turns Bad -

Hey, when a man turns bad

it`s a well known fact

you don`t go giving him a bucket of compliments

behind his back

you don`t go laying traps for him

you cannot detect his scent

you cannot set your dogs on him

they won`t go where he went

Though his eyes may have been scored out

and his face is full of pits

He’s bloodless, still rides for you

and he`s grating at the bit

Oh

When a man turns bad

you don`t want to know a thing

you can see it in the way that his hand shakes

as he pours himself a drink

he won`t take pleasure giving you the time of day

can`t walk in a straight line

just takes him a shot of bitumen

take a shot of turpentine

Oh

When a man turns bad

you can smell it on his breath

He has to fix himself up one in the morning

just to get him out of bed

When a man turns bad

it`s written on his wrists

gets a sudden fidgetty urge to kiss you baby

but he`s eating away at his lips

When a man turns bad

he don`t want no friendly advice

phone off the hook, not available for comment

better punch out the lights, sugar and spice, now

When a man turns bad

when a man turns bad

when a man turns bad

You can tell by his hair

he looks like he`s looking at a crack in the ceiling

or a nameless point somewhere

and in fact he`s seeing him a vision

in fact it`s a kingdom somewhere

where the lamb lies down with the rabid dog

and the dog don`t care

When a man turns bad

you can see it in his stare

looks like he`s looking at a crack in the ceiling

or just a nameless point in the air

in fact he`s seeing a vision

in the back of the kingdom somewhere

well the lamb lies down with the dog

and the dog doesn`t care

In fact he`s seeing a vision

in fact it`s a kingdom somewhere

where the lamb lies down with the rabid dog

and the rabid dog he don`t care

When a man turns bad

it`s a well known fact

you don`t go giving him a bucket of compliments

behind his back

you don`t go laying traps for him

you cannot detect his scent

you cannot set your dogs on him

they won`t go where he went

they won`t go where he went

they won`t go where he went
