Big In Japan — Hell Before Reno lyrics

Lyrics

«It was very bitter, she said she was glad I knew,
that she hated all the sneaking around, and she said,
she wanted a divorce in Reno.»
«And what was your response?»
«I told her I would not grant one.»
«I'll see you in hell before I see you in Reno.»
When did I become so old?
I can’t remember anything
Sometimes I forget to leave
It can be embarrassing
I am not vulnerable
though I collapse by request
I was born with my heart on the outside of my chest (ooooh)
And I don’t, not ever
open my eyes before dark
I live so close to hell
if I look, I can see the sparks
Ooooh
Na Ooooh
Na When did I become so old?
I can’t remember everything
I try to jar my memory
it only makes my ears ring
The things that I can recall
only fill me with regret
I could be sentimental
good things are easy to forget (oooooh)
And I don’t, not ever
open my eyes before dark
I live so close to hell
if I look, I can see the sparks
Ooooh
Na Ooooh
Na And I wonder what you’d think of me if I left you there
There’s not a single part of me begging you to care
Though I always seem to be around
when you get upset
I just don’t want to hear a sound
from you, from you, from you
And I don’t, not ever
open my eyes before dark
I live so close to hell
if I look, I can see the sparks
Ooooh
