lyrics

She says that murderers they live in symmetrical houses
And I believe what she says
They line the graveyard where you drank alone
Holding hands with your grand daddy's death

I heard you singing "Hey, Rita Mae's my gal,
She's saving my life while she sends me straight to hell
She knows me well, but 5 years from here,
I'll remember your name, your'e my love, my long lost belle-
But Rita Mae's my gal."

Now, I know that murderers they sleep between your bed
And the company you keep
The fear on my insides screaming why, as I let you bleed
Rinsing red between my sheets and onto me

You were singing, "Hey, Rita Mae's my gal,
She's saving my life while she sends me straight to hell
She knows me well, but 5 years from here,
I'll remember your name, your'e my love, my long lost belle-
But right now, Rita Mae's my gal."
