Copper on the corner and he loaded two rounds
|
And I can't even cross the line to talk you down
|
And Peter, sweet baby, where'd you get that gun?
|
You spend half your life trying to turn the other half around
|
|
And I tried to come clean, but I guess its no use
|
Your face is all over the six o'clock news
|
They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools
|
I can't even get inside
|
|
Did you lose your head when the FARM went down?
|
Or was it when your daddy died after he moved to town
|
And I know your mama calls you good for nothin'
|
She says her baby is a Failer and she don't want you callin'
|
|
|
And I tried to come clean, but I guess its no use
|
Your face is all over the six o'clock news
|
They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools
|
I can't even get inside
|
|
And Peter, sweet baby, there's just something that I gotta say to you
|
I'm gonna have your baby this coming June
|
We could get a little place down by Gilmour Park
|
You could do a little time and save my broken heart
|
|
And I tried to come clean, but I guess its no use
|
Your face is all over the six o'clock news
|
They cleared the streets and then they closed the schools
|
I can't even get inside
|
|
And I tried to come clean, but I guess its no use
|
Copper went ahead and he just shot you through
|
Now you're lying dead on the avenue
|
And I can't feel my broken heart
|
|
And I can't feel my broken heart
|
