It was a half past nothing on a nowhere night

I had no one to love, I had no one to fight

So I took a walk down Bad News Avenue

I had a heart full of blood and a head full of booze

I had nothing to gain, I had nothing to lose

So I stepped inside a tavern and began to play

Bad news, bad news

I'm talking to you

I don't know your name

But I would love to

Next thing I hear "knock knock"

Who that there at my door?

I hear "knock knock"

I think she's back for more

Well, I woke up in the morning with a bad old head

I had poison in my pocket and a body in my bed

If you can get it with small change it might as well be free

Well the sun came up and the ship went down

I went looking through the gutter for the lost and found

And that's when I saw you smiling back at me

Bad news, bad news

I'm talking to you

I don't know your name

But I would love to

Next thing I hear "knock knock"

Who that there at my door?

I hear "knock knock"

I think she's back for more, say it again

I hear "knock knock"

Who that there at my door?

I hear "knock knock"

I think she's back for more
