Justified Black Eye (1994 demo) Songtext
von No Use for a Name

She was confused and abused in this life
Emotional and violent moments seemed to take the longest time
Every single knockout drag out fight they ever had
Apologies and dignity denied

He starts to laugh, he starts to lie
With suddenly psychotic eyes

Every night she cried herself to sleep, she didn′t recognize
Her own face in the mirror, black and blue
So afraid intimidation, like a child, she hides away
He would always try to justify what wasn't true
Justified black eye


Taken for granted she sleeps by the phone
Waiting for a call from him, but it seems he′s never coming home
14 beers later he is there without an answer
Once again she questions his lies
He goes to bed with no reply

Tomorrow morning different story and he'll be a different guy
He'll justify her black eye with another lie

She pack′s her bags in great temptation
He′s on his knees again he cries
A hug and a kiss and I don't know why
As a tear drops from her swollen eye
Apologies until tonight and another justified black eye
Justified black eye
