lyrics

She wore a Clark Kent pantsuit
with shark bite seams
She tore a line in the horizon
with her high beams
She was all about the gutters
All about the eaves
Shut her blinds
but her mind's eye's on wide screen

Was every spark of electricity
just my eyes playing tricks on me
or the black mark of dark victory?

She swore to Ronald Reagan
with a Clark Gable grin,
"We'll stabilize this patient
once the horse pills kick in."
His pompadour was on the floor
The room began to spin
Now they're dancing on the gables
like angels on a pin

Was every spark of electricity
just my mind playing tricks on me
or the black mark of dark victory?

He said, with eyes as empty as the bottle of vermouth,
"I didn't catch your name
when we were falling off the roof."
She left the olives in the glass
and picked her tooth
and said, "I'll tell you if you want,
but don't expect the truth."

Every spark of electricity
was my heart playing tricks on me
Oh, the black mark of dark victory!
Oh, the black mark of dark victory!
Oh, the black mark of dark victory!
