It's a cheap spaghetti western and it hasn't rained for years The dust bowl's overflowing and the soup bowl's chilling beers A ceiling fan is squeaking from above in this saloon The sunlight is escaping from this silent afternoon A broken man is sweeping last night's feelings from the floor While I'm working on a bottle with one eye on the door I've just about convinced myself that no one really cares When a girl named Angelina comes walking down the stairs Her body like an altar where a thousand men have bowed Scented light with poison her eyes alone but proud She sits herself beside me saying Are we having fun? I feel like I am staring down the barrel of a gun It's a cheap spaghetti western and we're standing in the church Flowers don the altar the raven leaves his perch I in my tuxedo Angelina in her gown The organist is weeping the choir is sitting down The preacher says The ring please And I slide it into place I never will forget the way the sunlight hit her face As it filtered through the stained glass in shades of red and green I can't describe the feeling it's somewhere in between A child on Christmas morning and a convict on death row A rag man drawing circles and a blind man at a show So many dreams to share with her I'm sure that she's the one But I feel like I am staring down the barrel of a gun It's a cheap spaghetti western and I'm kneeling by the fire Angelina in a nightgown preparing to retire I sing another lullaby our child is fast asleep The snow outside is glistening there's moonlight on her cheek Angelina puts the lamp out and she nestles by my side Her breath is warm and willing she takes me for a ride Through lilac scented gardens of passion and desire I milk her subtle kisses and we never seem to tire We fall asleep believing that life is now complete Wrapped in woolen blankets and a light blue flannel sheet But morning breaks there are bills to pay I'm laughed at by the sun And I feel like I am staring down the barrel of a gun It's a cheap spaghetti western I've had one too many beers Me and Angelina haven't touched in several years She's working for a publisher I'm selling dirty books She's hanging out with ceepeeays I'm dating female cooks Our love is like a bonsai tree stunted growth from birth I'm not sure why we did it I'm not sure what it's worth She calls me on the phone sometimes we talk the whole damn night I'll never understand why something so good isn't right She promises to see me soon I promise her to wait She's still a country angel but I tend to overstate The guilt is overwhelming and my conscience weighs a ton And I still feel like I'm staring down the barrel of a gun It's a cheap spaghetti western and the theater is dark The popcorn tastes like cardboard buttered salted bland and stark The ushers and their flashlights walk like preachers down the aisle It's obvious to everyone that it's gonna take awhile It's cold enough to freeze me and I'm falling out of space On the screen they're shooting lawmen in my heart I'm losing face It's funny how a person isn't quite the way they seem When you see them in the movies or love them in a dream I remember Angelina like the summers of my youth Freedom and contentment simple love and words of truth There's a knot inside my stomach that still needs to be undone I still feel like I'm staring down the barrel of a gun It's a cheap spaghetti western and it hasn't rained for years The dust bowl's overflowing and the soup bowl's chilling beers A ceiling fan is squeaking from above in this saloon The sunlight is escaping from this silent afternoon A broken man is sweeping last night's feelings from the floor While I'm working on a bottle with one eye on the door I've just about convinced myself that no one really cares When a girl named Angelina comes walking down the stairs Her body like an altar where a thousand men have bowed Scented light with poison her eyes alone but proud She sits herself beside me saying Are we having fun? I feel like I am staring down the barrel of a gun
