|
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. |
