Love And Treachery

I put on my gloves tonight

Pull onto the road to san berdu

They remind me of hustlers

Confidence men, and you

My hands are warm beneath them

And easy on the wheel

Without your love and treachery the calm is all I feel

I shiver in the mirror

Pull my belt across my hips

The leather's hard in bending

As your fingers to my lips

I wrap it tightly in defense

As if your arms were near

But for your love and treachery

There's nothing left to fear

I'll take a glass of wine and recall the words you spoke

From the bottom of your cup

Coveredin spit and smoke

But in your voice

I'll hear my own and recognize the crime

That all your love and treachery

Has ended up as mine

I see you in the rearview with just a passing glance

How your eyes shine

As if through mine

You'd see and understand

As if we'd played each other

But never knew the score

And all was love and treachery

But isn't anymore

That all was love and treachery

But isn't anymore
