lyrics

She hid dark magic behind,
Bloomin’ wolfsbane eyes,
She kept a pistol in her lap,
Her dress was long,
Her heels were high,

She scraped a match off his unshaved chin,
He grinned, she said,
“You look gently used, worn and broken in.”

Well God don’t owe him any play,
Except that one time he don’t talk about
On the eighth day,

It’s so easy to miss
A filed firin’ pin,
When it’s gently used, worn and broken in.

Blood ain’t like water,
It thickens as it cools,
His skin felt cold,
She played around
With her food,

She said, “from your picture I’d thought,
You’d have younger looking skin.”
He laughed, “I guess I’m gently used, worn and broken in.”

Her sister Mercy died at twenty three,
The dentist was caught
Playing at surgery,

They prayed he’d pay for his sins,
Instead he’s gently used, worn and broken in.

The judge sharpened his gavel,
On the sharp side of a scale,
He ran his thumb down the seam,
To find his way back to the trail,

He looked up from a pit,
He thought he was lookin’ in,
Feelin’ gently used, worn and broken in.
[Instrumental]

Gotta cut the honeymoon short,
The devil’s in his head
And it tells him that he’s lonely,

He’s gonna find out if she’s there for him,
He’s gently used, worn and broken in.

The Lord was hungover on the eighth day,
He looked down upon the earth,
And the mess that he had made,

What he saw made him want to start over again,
It was all gently used, worn and broken in.
