shovels & rope - botched execution lyrics

Loading...

[verse 1]
they botched my execution back in 1996
i climbed out of a window and i hopped over the fence
had to dig myself a tunnel, put my feet on the cement
and started running, running, running, ain’t n-body seen me since

and now i’ve got to find a friend, someone to tell i didn’t do it
but now my picture’s in the paper, there’s no way that i can prove it
and the body’s in the closet ’cause i never got to move it
now the neighbor kids are talking, saying, “everybody knew it”

[chorus]
ah ah
all my little seeds have grown
ah
ah ah
sooner later come back home
ah ah ah
oh

[verse 2]
leave a trail of crumbs, a lure for them to bite on
in a motel 6, thank god n-body left the light on
dressed myself in women’s clothing and a wig that i had tried on
tried to cleanse myself of all those alibis i had relied on

and now i’m lying on my back, looking at the ceiling
when suddenly i am distracted by that old familiar feeling
with the table and the devil and the cards that he was dealing
i was sure enough a slave and some poor soul i would be stealing tonight

[chorus]

[verse 3]
well, hitched my skirt, climbed up the car on the railroad
found myself a-gazing down the barrel at a crossroad
hide out in the circus, rob a bank, hit the payload
or wait out in the darkness with the freaks and kinda lay low

a storm had downed a power line, laying on the trainway
standing in a puddle, felt a shock and in a ditch lay
in my final moments i could hear the lucky judge say
“well, i guess the execution went as scheduled anyway”

[chorus]
