I hung up the gloves
The day Be Your Own Pet broke up
And wondered if you knew
An army of white girls
Dressed like Jemina Pearl
Steps in time with you
No one ever told me how unlucky i was
The peroxide in your hair
And your hundred-yard stare
Made the world your joke
The lips that kissed me raw
Were wrapped around a straw
Rail whiskey, diet coke
No one ever told me how unlucky i was
I was over you when the long blondes were through
I was just nineteen
Sometimes i miss our talks
And the switchblade in your sock
And your chlorine stink
No one ever told me how unlucky i was
