lyrics

Well, the phone rings in the morning, it’s a friend from long ago.
His tone of voice is saying how could I fall so low.
I sit there squirming in my seat,
Well, how was I to know…
The woman dancing in my arms, and regions far below
Was something more to him than just a passing acquaintance,
And in the end she’s just an invitation to hell…

Chorus: Well, I’m getting tired of being…A ball of pain.
Yeah, there’s so little gain, in being a ball of pain.

Well, I met a little angel that had fallen from above.
I’d thought I wasn’t capable of falling in love.
My heart was made of leather, leave the others behind.
That was until I had the chance to fall into her eyes.
She spit me out, she flew away, and left me to die,
And in the end she’s just an invitation to bye, bye, bye…

Chorus.

Well, I used to think that somewhere out there walked my other half.
But lately such a notion’s only good for a laugh.
Until one day the perfect woman walked into my life.
And all the love I needed shone from everything inside.
As though it shouldn’t matter that her man is someone else.
And in the end she’s just an invitation to hell…

Tom Lardner AN, Spain

Born in New Jersey well back in the 20th century. But not born under a bad sign.
Has now happily spent over half his life in countries other than his land of birth.
Fends off insistent misanthropy with incessant reading, films, working among olive trees and playing music. Among which is this project.
Tom also plays rancid dark semi-punk with the Outbreak Duo. Ah, and El Doghouse... ... more
