Lyrics for A Public Execution
Some words are best not spoken, some things are best not said But since this is your public execution I think I'm gonna go right on ahead The mailman brought your letter, babe, where you told me how you feel N about the things he said he told you, that is, I'm such a heel But I could never be honest that t you I've always lied When he saw me take some other hide for a two-wheel pony ride You at least might have asked me If the scene was really what it seemed But like a queen ruled by her jester Your conclusions was esteemed [?] You said I disappointed you wherever all the things I've done N that you had convinced yourself I was the only one T really make you happy, satisfy your soul Now you say I've failed you since we've spent up all my gold Have you ever seen the truth, therefore Have you ever made a try Such a thing for you's so impossible With them beans all in your eyes Whoa, I read where you said you want one good chance t really put me down N how you'd love t smear my name all over my home town Said some Mouse made a fool of you n said don't waste a dime Your phone is out of order now, babe, for me you've got no time If this is really what you're thinkin' That it's really, really all my fault You better find yourself a welder, baby 'Cause you got locked up in your vault Yeah, you got your point put over now, it seems you found a match Burn the bridge behind you, babe, slam your door, throw the latch I know just how you're hurtin' from your feelings as they burn I'd like t say I'm sorry, but it's no longer my concern So goodbye Go on n have a real good cry I've found me a brand new high She just loves a two-wheel pony ride You better get yourself a welder, babe Go on, get out of here...
