A Man And A Woman lyrics

Artist  : Henry Rollins 
Song : A Man And A Woman
 
A man and a woman locked in a hot apartment
prison

They're in love, love

He's beatin' that woman's head against the
fridgerator door

Slammin' that woman's head against the
fridgerator door

They're in love, they're in love, they're in
love

He's beatin' that woman to an inch of her
life

Beatin' that woman to an inch of her life

Beatin' that woman to an inch of her life

The heed and the hate, the heed and the hate, the
heed and the hate

The heed and the hate make the windows sweat,
make the windows sweat

Makes the walls moan, moan, moan, moan

Now outside in the hallway al the neighbors 

From all the other apartment building rooms have
gathered in the hallway

And they're all out there armed with their
baseball bats and brooms

Listening to the man beat the woman to an inch of
her life

Now all the wise guys are in the back takin'
bets

The one man says, 

"I say, he's gonna kill her, my money's down
that says he's gonna kill her."

And the other man says,

"He's not gonna kill her, he's gonna beat
that woman to an inch of her life,

beat that woman to an inch of her life, beat that
woman to an inch of her 

life, beat that woman to an inch of her life.
That's where my money is, so

put your money down, put your money down, put
your money down."

A little while later the cops come

And they come up the stairs 

And they see all the people gathered in the
hallways

With their baseball bats and brooms

See the wise guys in the back throwin' 5 dollar
bills back and forth

And they say,

"Alright, which room is it?"

And a few of the people point to the room at the
end of the hall

The cops go over there and they kick the door
in

And they see the man beatin' on the woman,
slammin' her head up against the 

wall, beatin' that woman to an inch of her
life.

And they say,

"Hey man, why you beatin' that woman to an
inch of her life, why you beatin'

that woman to an inch of her life, why you
beatin' that woman to an inch of

her life?"

And, the man says, get this, the man says...,

"That's no woman that's my wife, 

That's no woman that's my wife, 

That's no woman that's my wife, 

And when she screams she turns on all the
apartment lights on."
