Greg Brown - Sadness lyrics

Sadness come to my house With a stinking bouquet Smiled with her thin gray lips And said, "Honey, I'm home to stay." [Chorus:] And I said "Go away and leave me alone Go away and leave me." She handed me rotgut whiskey And a lit cigarette Danced all around my room and said "Are we having fun yet?" [Chorus] She took off her party dress And her tear stained bra**iere Came so close I could smell her And said "Kiss me here and here." [Chorus] She lay down on my bed And open her thin legs Raised up her arms and said "Honey, I ain't too proud to beg." [Chorus] She said, "Don't you remember What you did to that one, to the other one, too? Well, I've just come to do exactly The very same thing to you." [Chorus] I said, "I'm gonna get out my shotgun I'm gonna get out my Bowie knife - And if you don't clear on outta here I'll k** you within an inch of your life." [Chorus] She said, "Honey, I've come to love you I'm gonna hook you 'til you burn - And then I'll go and you will never know Just when I may return." [Chorus] I will go out in the mountains Way out in the desert somewhere Where the sun shines down on rocks and bushes And there ain't no Sadness there [Chorus]
