Soliloquy

[00:16.96] You can reach for your service pistol
[00:18.72] By the time you get it, I'm betting that this will be
[00:21.17] Over and done with, leave your badge and your gun
[00:22.93] You won't be coming home tonight
[00:25.06] Because you're dealing with a man at the end of his rope
[00:27.41] And I'll be swinging for the fences on a prayer and a hope
[00:29.37] There'll be no celebrations, or banner, libations
[00:31.73] Just your sad and lonely wife
[00:34.16] You want the glory
[00:36.26] Resplendent kill
[00:38.41] You want the story of the ill-famed blood you spilled
[00:42.29] 'Cause there's a Midwest overcoat
[00:44.44] And it's begging to be filled
[00:46.82] And if I'm not caught wearing it, you will
[00:51.08] You'll have to do better than that
[00:55.23] You'll have to do better than that
[00:59.23] 'Cause it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat
[01:03.74] Yeah, you'll have to do better than that
[01:07.44] Fuck it
[01:24.89] In 1916, at 7 years old, I shot a kid in the mug with a found pistol
[01:29.09] First taste of the bracelets, first taste of the can
[01:31.70] Gave him a taste of the grave before his life began
[01:33.86] And all we know is all that we've been told
[01:42.56] Reformed or refined, as if by design
[01:46.43] By a prison system that's all but resigned
[01:50.65] When the ideal prisoner should spend his life drifting back and forth
[01:59.04] Back and forth
[02:01.43] Back and forth
[02:03.57] Back and forth
[02:06.28] So swaddle me in a Native blanket
[02:08.10] You know I can't stand being cold
[02:10.15] Leave me out front of the bleeding church
[02:12.20] To meet the head of the household
[02:13.98] I sold my soul for a handful of kills and a bankroll
[02:18.36] I sold my soul
[02:24.37] Swaddle me in a Native blanket
[02:25.88] You know I can't stand being cold
[02:28.04] Leave me out front of the bleeding church
[02:30.10] To meet the head of the household
[02:31.74] I sold my soul
[02:38.41] You want the glory
[02:40.42] Resplendent kill
[02:42.83] You want the story of the ill-famed blood you spilled
[02:46.25] 'Cause there's a Midwest overcoat
[02:48.45] And it's begging to be filled
[02:51.01] And if I'm not caught wearing it, you will
[02:55.27] Drive, just drive
[02:59.99] Get in the car, just drive away
[03:05.37] Just drive
[03:08.59] Get in the car, just drive away
[03:11.97] You'll have to do better than that
[03:16.35] You'll have to do better than that
[03:20.19] 'Cause it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat
[03:24.65] Yeah, you'll have to do better than that
[03:28.33] Oh, you'll have to do better than that
[03:33.02] You'll have to do better than that
[03:37.29] 'Cause it passed right through the abdomen of this same old lucky cat
[03:41.77] Yeah, you'll have to do better than that
[03:45.75] (Fuck it)
[03:46.36] Oh no
[03:50.06] I think I'm bleeding out
[03:55.04] You take the wheel, so take the wheel
[04:03.51] Oh no (You'll have to do better)
[04:06.87] I think I'm bleeding out (You'll have to do better than that)
[04:12.51] You take the wheel, so take the wheel (You'll have to do better)
[04:19.98] (You'll have to do better than that)
[04:20.53]
