Rene by Knife In The Water Lyrics

Well, Rene was on the outside, with a pistol in her purse
And she was waiting for her man inside, the captain of her curse
And she was smoking just to occupy the shaking of her hands
For tonight would be the ending of that man and his demands

And she said, "Whoa. Whoa. Whoa, whoa-oh
I want to see the face of love before I blow that face away."

He's the key to her conviction, he's the key to her release
He's a bullet in the chamber, he's the justice of the peace

Rene was ready at the trigger at the open of the door
When the bullets went through Donny Lee and they hit the barroom floor

So she set the pistol on his back and crossed that parking lot
And she drove off to tell his mother that her son had just been shot

And she said, "Whoa. Whoa. Whoa, whoa-oh."
Rene saw the face of love before she blew that face away

Well, the coughing of the engine at ignition of her car
Took Rene away with visions of a faceless man in a topless bar
