It happened in an open field
Down in a southern state
And no one knows the reason why
Some would say it's hate
They shot the guy who sold the dogs
It came as some surprise
And to a lady standing there
Brought sadness to her eyes
She's a rock and roll widow living in this town
Another rock and roll widow since they gunned him down
The heat of day still hung around
As night began to fall
The sheriff came up from the town
In answer to the call
The band played on in darkness
Not knowing what to do
As people ran from side to side
Just looking for a cluejust like a bolt of chewing gum come from out of the blue
you said you wouldn't come outside until the bum had passed through
i try to be a better man i try to stay in shape
i try to do my part to keep apart the church and state amagalmate
you don't know what you're doing to me
upon the mantle of my sink, ants die silently as
nobody knows how the story really goes
if you turn around and sniff you'll smell the scoop under your nose
my disposable me is feeling lonely today
you know that soon enough my body will be wasting away
but there is something that i'm wondering before i turn to shit
it's nothing really howdya like my tortured artist bit?

look up, look down, look out man, i'm coming for you
you know my name you don't remember the game though
you keep on talking but it all stays the same so
michael since you left me i ain't got faith no more
we'll get high on the ride and we'll see what all the screaming is for
you are not real i am for real what the hell are you two doing here what's the fucking deal, huh?
you're not alive i am alive i had to wait for months and months for my prescription to arrive
and are you feeling any better or do you still feel the shame?
you will become something or something else or stay the same
and the people down the stairs have been trading shots all night
is this target practice or is this a real bloody fight man?
you're making a huge mistake mr. monolith
you're making a huge mistake mr. director
you're making a huge mistake mr. king's ransom
