Another Man's Juliet

(from the CD Nails and Crosses)

See the man at the bar
Look at that diamond ring
The poor boy's trying to buy some love
And losing everything
Look at him smile and smile
Look at him spend and sped
All his money on a woman
He'll never see again.

One mans meat is another mans Juliet
One mans one night stand
Is another mans safety net
One mans dream come true
Is another mans unpaid debt
And one mans meat is another mans Juliet.

I'm stepping in another mans footsteps
Standing in another mans shoes
Making love to another mans woman
Living another mans blues
Now it's my turn to cry
Now it's my turn to grin
But all in all it's all the same
It's impossible to win.

Show me the woman you love
Show me the woman you crave
The woman you need to make your life
May lead you to your grave
Once I loved a girl like that
Now I love my own right hand
Living on the edge of nowhere
One more desperate man.
