|
| I confess, this lady had a purse (old), so I took it (snatch)
|
| I took it home, opened it up, and shook it (look)
|
| She had papers (comb), lipstick and nail polish (shit)
|
| Credit cards and about twenty-seven dollars (change)
|
| I bought a fifth (liquor), drank it and laid there (stoned)
|
| It seemed like I could see the purse everywhere (bone)
|
| On the light post (look), by this mail box (look)
|
| I tried to run from it (where?), I ran a couple blocks (look!)
|
| But there it was, on the side walk, waitin' for me (shit!)
|
| It tried to lure me to it (stop!), I had to fuckin' do it (no!)
|
| I picked it up (), and stuck my fuckin' hand in it (Agh)
|
| It was full of rats (Ah!), and they fuckin' bit it off (Why?)
|
| Father I confess, I’m a criminal ()
|
| But my worlds too subliminal, around me
|
| Look at them, all the wicked masses
|
| That’s why I’m down with the clown till I’m ashes

|
| Look at yourself, the joke’s on you, Jack
