Henry Rollins - A Man a Woman LYRICS

A man and a woman locked in a hot apartment prison

Theyre in love, love

Hes beatin that womans head against the fridgerator door

Slammin that womans head against the fridgerator door

Theyre in love, theyre in love, theyre in love

Hes beatin that woman to an inch of her life

Beatin that woman to an inch of her life

Beatin that woman to an inch of her life

The heed and the hate, the heed and the hate, the heed and the hate

The heed and the hate make the windows sweat, make the windows sweat

Makes the walls moan, moan, moan, moan

Now outside in the hallway al the neighbors

From all the other apartment building rooms have gathered in the hallway

And theyre all out there armed with their baseball bats and brooms

Listening to the man beat the woman to an inch of her life

Now all the wise guys are in the back takin bets

The one man says,

"i say, hes gonna kill her, my moneys down that says hes gonna kill her."

And the other man says,

"hes not gonna kill her, hes gonna beat that woman to an inch of her life,

Beat that woman to an inch of her life, beat that woman to an inch of her

Life, beat that woman to an inch of her life. thats where my money is, so

Put your money down, put your money down, put your money down."

A little while later the cops come

And they come up the stairs

And they see all the people gathered in the hallways

With their baseball bats and brooms

See the wise guys in the back throwin 5 dollar bills back and forth

And they say,

"alright, which room is it? "

And a few of the people point to the room at the end of the hall

The cops go over there and they kick the door in

And they see the man beatin on the woman, slammin her head up against the

Wall, beatin that woman to an inch of her life.

And they say,

"hey man, why you beatin that woman to an inch of her life, why you beatin

That woman to an inch of her life, why you beatin that woman to an inch of

Her life? "

And, the man says, get this, the man says...,

"thats no woman thats my wife,

Thats no woman thats my wife,

Thats no woman thats my wife,

And when she screams she turns on all the apartment lights on."
