Lyrics to When A Man Turns Bad
When A Man Turns Bad Video:
Hey, when a man turns bad
it`s a well known fact
you don`t go giving him a bucket of compliments
behind his back
you don`t go laying traps for him
you cannot detect his scent
you cannot set your dogs on him
they won`t go where he went

Though his eyes may have been scored out
and his face is full of pits
He's bloodless, still rides for you
and he`s grating at the bit
Oh

When a man turns bad
you don`t want to know a thing
you can see it in the way that his hand shakes
as he pours himself a drink
he won`t take pleasure giving you the time of day
can`t walk in a straight line
just takes him a shot of bitumen
take a shot of turpentine
Oh

When a man turns bad
you can smell it on his breath
He has to fix himself up one in the morning
just to get him out of bed

When a man turns bad
it`s written on his wrists
gets a sudden fidgetty urge to kiss you baby
but he`s eating away at his lips

When a man turns bad
he don`t want no friendly advice
phone off the hook, not available for comment
better punch out the lights, sugar and spice, now

When a man turns bad
when a man turns bad
when a man turns bad
You can tell by his hair
he looks like he`s looking at a crack in the ceiling
or a nameless point somewhere
and in fact he`s seeing him a vision
in fact it`s a kingdom somewhere
where the lamb lies down with the rabid dog
and the dog don`t care

When a man turns bad
you can see it in his stare
looks like he`s looking at a crack in the ceiling
or just a nameless point in the air
in fact he`s seeing a vision
in the back of the kingdom somewhere
well the lamb lies down with the dog
and the dog doesn`t care

In fact he`s seeing a vision
in fact it`s a kingdom somewhere
where the lamb lies down with the rabid dog
and the rabid dog he don`t care

When a man turns bad
it`s a well known fact
you don`t go giving him a bucket of compliments
behind his back
you don`t go laying traps for him
you cannot detect his scent
you cannot set your dogs on him
they won`t go where he went
they won`t go where he went
they won`t go where he went
