  • You're the head on the spear
    You're the nail on the cross
    You're the fly in my beer
    You're the key that got lost
    You're the letter from Jesus on the bathroom wall
    You're mother superior in only a bra
    You're the same kind of bad as me

    I'm the hat on the bed
    I'm the coffee instead
    The fish or cut bait
    I'm the detective up late
    I'm the blood on the floor
    The thunder and the roar
    The boat that won't sink
    I just won't sleep a wink
    You're the same kind of bad as me

    No good you say
    Well that's good enough for me

    You're the wreath that caught fire
    You're the preach to the choir
    You bite down on the sheet
    But your teeth have been wired
    You skid in the rain
    You're trying to shift
    You're grinding the gears
    You're trying to shift
    And you're the same kind of bad as me

    They told me you were no good
    I know you'll take care of all my needs
    You're the same kind of bad as me

    I'm the mattress in the back
    I'm the old gunnysack
    I'm the one with the gun
    Most likely to run
    I'm the car in the weeds
    If you cut me I'll bleed
    You're the same kind of bad as me
    You're the same kind of bad as me Writer/s: Kathleen Brennan, Thomas Alan Waits
