lyrics

blood stains on his tshirt
so you know just where he’s been
spent all his friday wages
on a whore and mescaline

he’s passed out in the carport
smells like makers mark and sin
best be gone before he wakes up
the mood that he’ll be in

i was gone
soon as i could work my feet
it was a tin roof pre-fab
427 washburn street

sister had five boyfriends
cause she loved a dirty fight
wore her lipstick red as roses
wore her dresses short and tight

left no note behind her
disappeared into the night
didn’t even take a suitcase
must have caught an early fright

mama kept on with prescriptions
his heart was bout wore out
she kept a secret pill box
in the wall behind the couch

she had lots of pills to make him sleep
and some that make him dream
she got eyes that cut his soul out
like some vengeful laser beam
