Botched Execution

歌詞

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 nobody 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" Ah ah All my little seeds have grown Ah Ah ah Sooner later come back home Ah ah ah Oh Leave a trail of crumbs, a lure for them to bite on In a Motel 6, thank God nobody 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 Ah ah All my little seeds have grown Ah Ah ah Sooner later come back home Ah ah ah Oh 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" Ah ah All my little seeds have grown Ah Ah ah Sooner later come back home Ah ah ah Oh
