The Gift By Scott Eck Who's that now she's sleeping with In the dyin' embers of the night? Her lover bestowed a curse upon her... Now she's tryin' to make it right. A guardian angel's watching her, But she wants him in her mouth. Tomorrow night it'll be the guy who runs the bar Where she drinks and drinks and drinks. She took it. She got it. She owns it. She bought it. She'll marry the guy, But boy, will he pay For the Gift that he gave her, That's making her stay. She's makin' love to a bottle And stumblin' home again, Feelin' fucked-up and ugly, Not knowin' where she's been. She took it. She has it. She received it and damnit, She'll stay with the bastard, Cus he's got it too: The Gift that he gave her That made her a fool. © 1997, Scott Eck
