Girl Like That/Death Taxes and Maria

In The Morning She Wakes You Up
Complaints Poured Into The Coffee In Your Cup
She’s A Downtown Girl And That’s Where She Wanna Go
And She’s Not Too Happy And She Lets You Know

And Bam bam bam
Like A Hammer To Your Head
And bam bam bam
And you’re wishing You Were Dead
Or Could Forget Everything She Ever Said

And What Do You Do With A Girl Like That?
What Do You Do With A Girl Like That?
What Do You Do With A Girl Like That?
Just Love Her A Lot
Just love her a lot
That’s What You Do With A Girl Like That

In The Afternoon She Calls You On The Phone
She Will Not, Will Not Leave You Alone
And There’s Always Something That’s Just Not Right
And If You Don’t Agree You’re Looking For A Fight
And Bam, Bam, Bam
Like A Hammer To Your Head
And Bam, Bam, Bam
And you’re wishing You Were Dead
Or Could Forget Everything She Ever Said

And What Do You Do With A Girl Like That?
What Do You Do With A Girl Like That?
What Do You Do With A Girl Like That?
Just Love Her A Lot
Just Love Her A Lot
That’s What You Do With A Girl Like That

In The Evening She Will Cause
Temporary Amnesia And She’ll Try So Hard To Please Ya
That You Fall Into Her Arms
And That’s What You Do With A Girl Like That
And That’s What You Do With A Girl Like That
Just Love Her A Lot
Just Love Her A Lot
That’s What You Do With A Girl Like …

She Tears Down
The Pictures On The Wall
And She Tears Down
Her Ceiling Fan
She Tears Down
Her Bulletin Board
She’s Ready For Something New

She Tears Down
No Parking Here To Corner Signs
She Tears Down
Election Placards
She Tears Down
Paid Advertisements
She’s Ready For Something New

But New Pictures Are Gonna Go Up On The Wall
And New Faces Are Gonna Decorate The Hall
Of Congress, the Senate, And The Presidency
The Only Thing You Can Count On Reliably Is
Death, Taxes And Maria

Maria Understands That When
Something Is Pulled Down It Goes Up Again
And Eventually She Decides
If She’s Gonna Go For The Ride
She Will
Drive…

She Puts Up a Bicycle Chain
And She Puts Mapplethorpe Up With A Staple Gun
She Puts Up Flashing Lights That Say Maria
She’s Giving You Something New

And New Faces Are Gonna Go Up On The Walls
And She Will Be The One To Decorate The Halls
Of Congress, the Senate And The Presidency
The Only Thing You Count On Reliably Is
Death , Taxes And Maria

The Only Thing You Count On Reliably Is
Death, Taxes And Maria
