lyrics

woke up about four AM
no different than working third shift
got in town about seven o clock
put everything she owned into a dented-in locker
at a twenty cent bus stop
he said he'd love you for the rest of your days
well that's quite a promise to make

he got out on the second of june
for some shit he didn't even do
he was born with a guilty face
& a special predilection
for the wrong time & the wrong place
he just needed to borrow a car
to get to wherever you are

his head could explode
his hand was exposed
no one could know
he had a long look
that's all that it took

he got sick on the day of the show
but he never really wanted to go
he disappeared with a hiss
you know what they say:
it's a cheap trick but they'll take it
so she slept under pale moonlight
& dreamt of another life
