Henry Rollins - A Man & a Woman lyrics

A man and a woman locked in a hot apartment prison They're in love, love He's beatin' that woman's head against the fridgerator door Slammin' that woman's head against the fridgerator door They're in love, they're in love, they're in love He's beatin' that woman to an inch of her life Beatin' that woman to an inch of her life Beatin' that woman to an inch of her life The heed and the hate, the heed and the hate, the heed and the hate The heed and the hate make the windows sweat, make the windows sweat Makes the walls moan, moan, moan, moan Now outside in the hallway al the neighbors From all the other apartment building rooms have gathered in the hallway And they're all out there armed with their baseball bats and brooms Listening to the man beat the woman to an inch of her life Now all the wise guys are in the back takin' bets The one man says, "i say, he's gonna k** her, my money's down that says he's gonna k** her." And the other man says, "he's not gonna k** her, he's 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 her Life, beat that woman to an inch of her life. that's where my money is, so Put your money down, put your money down, put your money down." A little while later the cops come And they come up the stairs And they see all the people gathered in the hallways With their baseball bats and brooms See the wise guys in the back throwin' 5 dollar bills back and forth And they say, "alright, which room is it? " And a few of the people point to the room at the end of the hall The cops go over there and they kick the door in And they see the man beatin' on the woman, slammin' her head up against the Wall, 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 beatin' That woman to an inch of her life, why you beatin' that woman to an inch of Her life? " And, the man says, get this, the man says..., "that's no woman that's my wife, That's no woman that's my wife, That's no woman that's my wife, And when she screams she turns on all the apartment lights on."
