Maxine

                                  Creases in your white dress

Bruises on your bare skin

Looks like another fine mess

You've got yourself into



What's the matter with you?

Has the cat got your tongue?

Well if you don't like the beat

Then don't play with the drum



Maxine, you're not the only one

To take the whole world on

But no one's ever won

Maxine, Case 1352

A red and green tattoo

Eyes cold steel blue



On a rain-slicked avenue

Long shadows in the night

Take off your spike-heeled shoes

You've go to run for your life



Razor blade in your pocket

From an ex-marine

Makes you speed like a rocket

Ooh, it cuts so clean



Maxine, you're not the only one

To take the whole world on

But no one's ever won

Maxine, Case 1352

A red and green tattoo

Eyes cold steel blue



How come you're payin' for borrowed time

Starin' out into space?

Bad boys and cold comfort

And a smacked-up face



Maxine, you're not the only one

To take the whole world on

But no one's ever won

Maxine, Case 1352

A red and green tattoo

Eyes cold steel blue



Who's that walking, walking behind you, who's that

talking, talking about you

Who's that walking, walking with you Maxine…?
