Sudden Death In Carolina
- Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter and this morning I threw up fire.
- But it's nothing new. I've been piecing it together and it's got something to do
- with every look thrown like a knife across a crowded room.
- Every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the backseat.
- Every stupid melody to every stupid song.
- And every stupid word that everybody's hanging on.
- What difference does this difference in age make?
- I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
- So call 911.
- I'm already dead but someone should be caught
- and held responsible for this bloody mess.
- Last night I fell asleep next to a liar and I woke up with a shiner.
- And it's all that I remember from a night spent lying on my back
- with a view of a stone white ceiling and the back of your head.
- This dark and quiet bed felt like the middle of nowhere.
- We beat each other up just like we always do.
- When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to you.
- What difference does this difference in age make?
- I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
- Call 911.
- I'm already dead but someone should be caught
- and held responsible for this bloody mess.
- Call homicide. Take the case to court.
- Her lips taste like a loaded gun
- and I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor.
- They hung her from the bridge on Monday.
- The gathering turned into a mob out on the lawn.
- They dropped her body in the river.
- And school and work returned to normal before long...
- Call 911.
- I'm already dead but someone should be caught
- and held responsible for this bloody mess.
- Call homicide. Take the case to court.
- Her lips taste like a loaded gun
- and I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor.
