Botched Execution |
| They botched my execution back in 1996 |
| I climbed out of a window and I hopped over the fence |
| Had to dig myself a tunnel, put my feet on the cement |
| And started runnin' runnin' runnin' and ain’t nobody seen me since |
| So, now I gotta find a friend, someone to tell I didn’t do it |
| But my picture’s in the paper and there’s no way that I can prove it |
| And the body’s in the closet 'cause I never got to move it |
| Now the neighbor’s kids are talking sayin' everybody knew it |
| All my little seeds have grown |
| Sooner later come back home |
| Leave a trail of crumbs a little lure for them to bite on |
| In a Motel 6, thank God nobody left the light on |
| Dressed myself in women’s clothing and a wig that I had tried on |
| Tried to cleanse myself of all those alibis I had relied on |
| Now I’m lying on my back looking at the ceiling |
| When suddenly I am distracted by that old familiar feeling |
| With the table and the devil and the cards that he was dealing |
| I was sure enough a slave and some poor soul I would be stealing tonight |
| All my little seeds have grown |
| Sooner later come back home |
| Hitched my skirt, climbed up a car on the railroad |
| Found myself a’gazing down the barrel at the crossroad |
| Hide out in the circus, rob a bank, hit the payload |
| Or wait out in the darkness with the freaks and kinda lay low |
| A storm had downed a power line, laying on the trainway |
| Standing in a puddle, felt a shock and in a ditch lay |
| In my final moments I could hear the lucky judge say |
| Well, I guess the execution went as scheduled anyways |
| All my little seeds have grown |
| Sooner later come back home |
