Soliloquy |
You can reach for your service pistol |
By the time you get it, I’m betting that this will be |
Over and done with, leave your badge and your gun |
You won’t be coming home tonight |
Because you’re dealing with a man at the end of his rope |
And I’ll be swinging for the fences on a prayer and a hope |
There’ll be no celebrations, or banner, libations |
Just your sad and lonely wife |
You want the glory |
Resplendent kill |
You want the story of the ill-famed blood you spilled |
'Cause there’s a Midwest overcoat |
And it’s begging to be filled |
And if I’m not caught wearing it, you will |
You’ll have to do better than that |
You’ll have to do better than that |
'Cause it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat |
Yeah, you’ll have to do better than that |
Fuck it |
In 1916, at 7 years old, I shot a kid in the mug with a found pistol |
First taste of the bracelets, first taste of the can |
Gave him a taste of the grave before his life began |
And all we know is all that we’ve been told |
Reformed or refined, as if by design |
By a prison system that’s all but resigned |
When the ideal prisoner should spend his life drifting back and forth |
Back and forth |
Back and forth |
Back and forth |
So swaddle me in a Native blanket |
You know I can’t stand being cold |
Leave me out front of the bleeding church |
To meet the head of the household |
I sold my soul for a handful of kills and a bankroll |
I sold my soul |
Swaddle me in a Native blanket |
You know I can’t stand being cold |
Leave me out front of the bleeding church |
To meet the head of the household |
I sold my soul |
You want the glory |
Resplendent kill |
You want the story of the ill-famed blood you spilled |
'Cause there’s a Midwest overcoat |
And it’s begging to be filled |
And if I’m not caught wearing it, you will |
Drive, just drive |
Get in the car, just drive away |
Just drive |
Get in the car, just drive away |
You’ll have to do better than that |
You’ll have to do better than that |
'Cause it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat |
Yeah, you’ll have to do better than that |
Oh, you’ll have to do better than that |
You’ll have to do better than that |
'Cause it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat |
Yeah, you’ll have to do better than that |
(Fuck it) |
Oh no |
I think I’m bleeding out |
You take the wheel, so take the wheel |
Oh no (You'll have to do better) |
I think I’m bleeding out (You'll have to do better than that) |
You take the wheel, so take the wheel (You'll have to do better) |
(You'll have to do better than that) |
