| She’s alright
|
| No really it was nothing, nevermind
|
| Just ignore the bruise underneath her right eye
|
| She’s fine
|
| She fell down the stairs last night
|
| She can’t sleep, once upon a time he swept her off her feet
|
| Now with bourbon on his breath he hugs his sheets seven days a week
|
| She’s going crazy
|
| It’s for self defense she swears and slips it underneath the mattress
|
| Lights another cigarette as hour after hour passes
|
| He hasn’t come home yet
|
| But he will and when he does
|
| Oh naked on the bed she’ll put a bullet in his gut
|
| She’s dead inside
|
| A vacancy persists behind those eyes
|
| She laughs and smiles she’s coming back to life
|
| Ooo, that’s right
|
| Tonight’s the night
|
| It’s for self defense she smiles and slips it underneath the mattress
|
| Lights another cigarette as hour after hour passes
|
| He hasn’t come home yet but he will and when he does
|
| Oh naked on the bed she’ll put a bullet in his gut
|
| It’s four o clock
|
| She hears his keys stumble round the lock
|
| She can smell his breath across the house it reeks like hell
|
| «Hello 911»
|
| «Tell us your emergency my son»
|
| «She came at me brandishing a gun
|
| I had to do something now it’s done» |
