( Bowling alley home song lyrics )
THREE STRIKES AGAINST YOU
Copyright © 2006 - mickterry.com

1: We used to rent a
room right on top of the bowling alley.
It wasn't much. It was cheap. What can I say?
A single window looking out
to another looking in.
And their blinds were open wide night or day.

CHORUS:
Three strikes against you, how can you score?
Three strikes against you
& there's thunder rumbling through your floor.
It's impossible to go to sleep early.
It' impossible for sleeping in.
Three strikes against you, don't you want more?

2: They didn't seem to
care if we watched them parading naked,
or having sex, screaming fights or lines of coke.
If we were wanting privacy,
our blinds closed immediately.
And to them, our being prudes was a joke.
CHORUS:

BRIDGE:
We were grateful, grateful for a roof over our heads.
We were grateful, grateful for our lumpy old saggy-back bed.
'Though we sure didn't get much sleep,
those mem'ries would be ours to keep.
& we swore that there soon would be something much better.

3: Petunias in a
pot at the heart of our kitchen table
added a splash to the wall paint: choc'late brown.
What with the shaking of our walls
and the cat fights down the hall,
in three months, we'd had enough.
Had to move. It was too rough.
Found another so much better,
peace and quiet all together,
right beside the waste disposal plant in town.
CHORUS:
