My Rival


The wind was driving in my face
the smell of prickly pear
[my rival - show me my rival]
the milk truck eased into my space
somebody screamed somewhere
i struck a match against the door
of anthony's bar and grill
i was the whining stranger
a fool in love
with time to kill
I've got detectives on his case
they filmed the whole charade
[my rival - show me my rival]
he's got a scar across his face
he wears a hearing aid
Sure he's a jolly roger
until he answers for his crime
yes i'll match him whim for whim now
I still recall when i first held
your tiny hand in mine
[my rival - show me my rival]
i loved you more than i can tell
but now it's stomping time
Sure he's a jolly roger
until he answers for his crime
yes i'll match him whim for whim now
