John Wesley Harding
The Receiving End
[Verse 1]
It will not take a day
Of stock market disarray
To change the way you are
Fortune cannot be impressed
That's why she's a way cool mistress
A customer that pays without regard
Say which cheek you want the wet kiss
When she reveals your nemesis

[Chorus]
How will it feel to have turned the bend?
How will it feel to have turned the bend?
And be on the receiving end?
And be on the receiving end in the end?

[Verse 2]
And therе will be no rematch
No starting from scratch
Once you'vе counted, they won't hatch anymore
Wish vainly for another chance
They've marked your last card dance
No deathbed conversion, that's all
These revengeful thoughts we must keep
To soothe our troubled minds to sleep
[Chorus]
How will it feel to have turned the bend?
How will it feel to have turned the bend?
And be on the receiving end?
And be on the receiving end in the end?

[Verse 3]
Guess you'll try to call our bluff
And play a little rough
But will revenge be enough for us?
You've got the lawyers and the power
And of course those handy business hours
But you won't be getting flowers on your dust
They say that everyone should think things through
But I'd be happy if you just get what's coming to you

[Chorus]
How will it feel to have turned the bend?
How will it feel to have turned the bend?
And be on the receiving end?
And be on the receiving end?
And be on the receiving end?
And be on the receiving end in the end? (Yeah)
