lyrics

THE WRECKING LIFE

When you see her standing there
All decked out, with flowers in her hair
You know you're gonna fall from grace tonight
But you don't mind (you don't mi-ind)

CHORUS:
Ah, ah, the wrecking life. (Lost in the garden)
Oh, oh, the wrecking life (Digging your own grave)

A drink in one hand, an arrow in her eye
The clouds are blood red and hanging in the sky
She had to pick you, but she won't say why
She won't say why-eye-eye

CHORUS
BRIDGE:
A demon figure with a serpentine tongue
It's the oldest story though she looks so young
How do you deal with an apple like that?
It's time to go, it's time to go-o-o

CHORUS

The sun is rising, the candle's burning down
She took your Eden, and turned it upside down
She broke your promises and didn't make a sound
Not a single sound, not one single sound

CHORUS

Mack's brand of musical hooliganism is a mix of rough-and-tumble roots rock, New Mex/Tex alt country (think Ray Wylie Hubbard meets Uncle Tupelo), and more traditional singer-songwriter balladry.
