From the record BAILOUT!

lyrics

Trouble arrives
You know I know just what to do
Holding on to the past
No lady I'm leaving you
What you thought was good
You can't have no more
I'll turn you out girl
I'll turn you out in the cold

When it's over
Crawl away on all fours
You know that I'm dones girl
Change the locks on my doors yeah
And if your just crawling back for some sunshine
You better not come round no more
I'll turn you out girl
I'll turn you out in the cold

So cry for me baby
Cry like you mean
Show me a lie
I'll just read in between it
And find a way
To make things better
Ride on like a freight train
Like you never seen it
Coming for you babe
Theres no need to demean it
It was what it was
And now it is what it is

In the moment
Desperation sets in
If you hold it inside
It will soak through your skin
You can't take this feeling
Lo and behold
You've been turned out girl
You've been turned out in the cold
