lyrics

The walk of shame
You’ve made the hall of fame again
Your picture has been framed again
Along the walk of shame

No you won’t learn
Your better angels have been spurned again
Their dresses torched and burned again
The rain has doused the flames

The streets are lined with last night’s broken bottles
You stagger home, a soldier from the battle
Cattle to the slaughter

When will it end
This journey through the dark, my friend?
You’re lonely and you can’t pretend
You’re pretty any more

It’s six o’clock, the night was so delicious
But now a puddle is a mirror for Narcissus
Better hurry, that’s a Walk sign

No, don’t look back
Don’t give yourself a heart attack
The dawn is leaking in through all the cracks
It needs someone to blame

So hurry home
Hole up behind your stone again
Air-conditioned and alone again
While they’re polishing your name
Along the walk of shame
