Martha takes the greyhounds<br>she says she lost her mantra way down South<br>but all that repetition just got her down, got her down<br><br>Now she says she won`t do drugs<br>because she found something to love<br>she cured herself of everything<br>there`s nothing left but hair and skin<br><br>The only thing I asked her<br>was did she have a plaster<br>for my pain, oh for the pain<br><br>She closed her eyes and took my hand,<br>she said "God might have a plan for me"<br><br>But making love in Martha`s room<br>I felt like I could see through her to him<br><br>But heaven is the place that`s open<br>when all the bars in town are closed<br>heaven is the place, I never find<br><br>The only thing I told her<br>was that God would have no answer<br>for my pain, oh for the pain, oh for the pain<br><br>She threw my clothes against the wall<br>she said "I`ve met your type before<br>don`t go, oh don`t go"<br><br>I`ve cured myself of everything<br>and now I think I know what makes you tick<br><br>She tied my hands about my head<br>said a prayer and fetched her wit<br>she said the devil hides within my heart<br><br>The only thing I asked her<br>was did she have a plaster<br>for my pain, oh for the pain<br>oh for the pain, oh for the pain
