It was noon in the summer when the police shot him | |
“Stagger Lee, reincarnate” is what the cops called him | |
A trembling hand with big ideas, which killed his wife and her man | |
Stagger Lee in the Flesh in Southern California | |
He hit a rock going 90 in the dessert | |
Had blowout and was forced to pull over | |
He grabbed the Colt and put the barrel to his head | |
In the midst of all the sirens from the cop cars | |
He heard the quiet muffled beats from his wife's heart | |
The last time she had kissed him when she loved him for real | |
Yeah, now he knows what you shouldn't know | |
It never starts, it never ends, no | |
He thinks out loud, | |
“I've waited my whole damn life to turn my whole damn life around. | |
If this is it, well, they gotta fight, | |
I'm taking every last one of them fuckers down.” | |
Stagger Lee quickly opens up his car door | |
Sticks his left hand out waving in surrender | |
He hides a smile and a death wish with a fully loaded gun | |
Seven cops with their fingers on their triggers | |
Sweaty palms, grinding teeth, foggy aviators | |
Stagger Lee pulls the hammer back and dives into sun | |
He hits the ground with a barrel roll | |
He unloads the clip | |
Three cops hit the ground | |
The other four greet Stagger with his death | |
I'm so thankful | |
I'm so grateful | |
You afforded me to be born again | |
Another chance to make her my lover | |
I'll make it right this time next life | |
And since you shot me | |
Since you killed me | |
I'll haunt you in between | |
And I'll possess your wife and kids | |
I'll make it so you can't forget | |
I'll be coming back for her again, in flesh |
