Sarah, Calling from a Hotel

Sarah's calling from a hotel That was built into a mountain There were diamonds in the fountain And she said that she was happy Hadn't seen her since the races At the ending of last summer We watched the horses run up on each other And she looked pretty She said lately she's been thinking She's sorry she was ruthless at the ending But her new friend does much better Than just get by And the last thing she said to me Before she hung up the phone Was "Here he comes Oh god, I gotta go" Every time you take a lover You trade one thing for another We hadn't spoken in a year And I'm not sure why she called But the last thing she said to me Before she hung up the phone Was "Here he comes Oh god, I gotta go" "Here he comes He's got a gun" I heard that she cleaned up, but then I also heard she didn't Sarah says he's got some money But Jenny says it's spent She says she knows that he's not perfect But when you add it all up, then it's worth it She was sorry at the ending She was lazy with her lies But she was sick of scrounging 'round Just barely getting by And the last thing she said to me Before she hung up the phone Was "Here he comes Oh god, I gotta go" "Here he comes He's got a gun I gotta go."
