lyrics

In my past life I was a terrible woman
One filled with lust and desire
But behind these eyes I’m a terrible woman
Turn around and set the bank on fire.

Daddy said to me, "girl, you’re a terrible soul"
He said it, looked me straight in the eye.
"If you stay out of trouble in this terrible world,
It’ll be a miracle if you ever die."

In my past life I was a terrible woman
One filled with lust and desire
Yeah but behind these eyes I’m a terrible woman
Turn around and set the bank on fire.

So I called the telephone operator
and I got his number
It was then up to me to sharpen up my knife.
Well he came home after playing his horn
Was up to me to cut him free from his life.

Molotov cocktails I’ll drink those for dessert
But I wash them down with bullets and nails
I’ll spit you out and go home for breakfast
Looks like I found my way out of hell.

In my past life I was a terrible woman
One filled with lust and desire
But behind these eyes I’m a terrible woman
Turn around and set the bank on fire.

Turn around and set the bank on fire.
