"Torture Garden" lyrics - HUGH CORNWELL

One step forwards two steps backwards
That's the dance I want to learn
If I could master it and put a little style in it
I'll have some fun when it's my turn

Gable and Monroe in the garden
Out in the desert getting well
Eli and Thelma in the DC
It wasn't easy you can tell

It's just a step away
Please will you show us how to live
It's just a step away
When you got nothing left to give

Seven horses not enough to
Even fill the tank with gas
Monty's outside he wasn't inside
But he knows all things must pass
Bucking broncos we're all cowboys
Hanging from another age
Getting sauced that's just how the film goes
It's gotta be better than a wage

It's just a step away
Please will you show us how to live
It's just a step away
When you got nothing left to give

One step forwards two steps backwards
That's the dance I want to learn
If I could master it and put a little style in it
I'll have some fun when it's my turn

It's just a step away
Please will you show us how to live
It's just a step away
When you got nothing left to give

It's just a step away
Please will you show us how to live
It's just a step away
When you got nothing left to give
