The spaces between all the times Is where I lay my sweet heart down The spaces between Her cruelest insults Is where I stopped being faithful The gap between fat Kelly's teeth Distracts my eyes from her body And as she pulls me to the floor I don't feel that guilty My trousers around my knees And her skirt above her waist But in the cold sober light She's not nearly so pretty But if I drink more gin Her grace might return My sweet heart don't know And I sure won't tell her That fat Kelly's teeth Have bitten chunks off of me And what was I thinking of When I went home with her She had sympathy She had cigarettes Now they've all disappeared Between her teeth Between her teeth They've all disappeared
Between her teeth And I always forget How quick the sun sets And now that the rock sets I'm must go home I don't feel regretful I don't feel ungrateful Even though I'm unfaithful I don't feel that bad But in the cold sober light She's not nearly so pretty But if I drink more gin Her grace might return My sweetheart don't know And I sure won't tell her That fat Kelly's teeth Have bitten chunks off of me And what was I thinking of When I went home with her She had sympathy She had cigarettes Now they've all disappeared Between her teeth Between her teeth They've all disappeared Between her teeth They've all disappeared Between her teeth They've all disappeared Between her teeth
