| She broke both her legs hitting the ground
|
| I stood over her screaming
|
| Turned my head to the siren sound
|
| And my back to her bleeding
|
| Tell my girl that I’m sorry
|
| Now there’s so many locks on my door
|
| Seven women came, seven bodies slain, still they called out for more
|
| 'cause these voices they talk to me daily, and they get wild when they’re
|
| ignored
|
| Oh I’m lost here, it’s a cost dear, it’s something we can’t afford
|
| Oh when the lights go down and the clanging walls shut me away
|
| I know, I know
|
| We built this, I killed him, 'cause he got in the way
|
| I came to bed about half ten
|
| I could see that he’d been there
|
| From the cum on your dress and the mess of your hair
|
| I knew then that I’d kill him
|
| So I walked slowly down to my kitchen
|
| I took a knife from the second drawer
|
| I barreled on down to the beerhall and
|
| There I called his name just to be sure
|
| Though he pleaded with me to be patient
|
| Still I stuck him like a two bit whore
|
| Oh he bled out, red it gushed out and sprayed up against the toilet door
|
| Oh when the lights go down and the clanging walls shut me away |
| I know, I know
|
| We built this, I killed him, 'cause he got in the way
|
| Now it’s been fourteen years since I cut him down
|
| Fourteen more till I see her
|
| And I think of the times when she loosened her gown
|
| And the whispers that I heard
|
| So tell my girl that I miss her
|
| And I didn’t mean to do her harm
|
| Cowering in my cell when the ringing bells
|
| Sing loud the alarm
|
| Because the borderline’s close now to breaching and
|
| I’m tired of these calls
|
| The cutters in my hand and the other man
|
| Is slipping down the call block wall
|
| 'cause I’m tossed and I’m tired and I’m beaten
|
| And I’m sick of all these chores
|
| Oh I’m lost here, it’s a cost dear
|
| It’s something we could never afford
|
| Oh when the lights go down and the clanging walls shut me away
|
| I know, I know
|
| We built this, I killed him, 'cause he got in the way |
