The Jezabels
Mace Spray
[Verse 1]
There's a place in the town, a statue
She'd make me wait beneath
But its magnificent archways, archways
That's where I'd go to weep

I'm right up onto the counter
Showgirl, perfect the slow body-roll
And breakaway from the anger, oh, hoe
Just got to let it all go

[Chorus]
But she loves me
More than anyone who wouldn't lay a hand
She keeps mace spray
For you can't rely on the common man

[Verse 2]
That night up under the starlight
Holly, you call, "the great blistering blue"
A strange formation came down from the ceiling
And it began to move

And so the shattering shards of glass fell
And glistened this way and that
But she would say I won't find my way through the plaster
I'm an empty hourglass in the sand
[Chorus 2]
But she loves me
More than anyone who wouldn't speak like that
She keeps mace spray
For you can't rely on the common man

[Bridge]
But it is alright
Here in the time and the place I am
You leave a light on all night
Just to remind of the place I am

[Chorus 3]
But she loves me, hey!
In the time and the place I am
You keep mace spray, heey!
You can't rely on the common man

[Outro]
You can't rely, heey!
You can't rely, he-heey!
You can't rely, he-heey!
You can't rely
You can't rely, heey!
You can't rely
You can't rely
