Song of the Sad Assassin

Lyrics for Song of the Sad Assassin

We lifted the body from the water like a gown You took off your bra to wrap the wound Though the man was dead, and there was no need Then your face turned red, when you said to me I'll suck the marrow out And rape your hollow bones Yoni Alone putting three coins into a washing machine Next to a caulked, cracked wall In the basement on Fairmount street Putting three quarters into a washing machine Next to a caulked cracked wall In the basement, I feel Like a loop of the last eight frames of film Before a slow motion Lee Harvey Oswald Gets shot in the gut and killed Alone putting three coins into a washing machine Next to a caulked, cracked wall In the basement on Fairmount Street Billy the Kid, did what he did and he died Billy the Kid, did what he did, and he died Billy the Kid, did what he did and he died Billy the Kid, did what he did, and he died Billy the Kid, did what he did and he died Billy the Kid, did what he did, and he died Billy the Kid, did what he did and he died Billy the Kid, did what he did, and he died Billy the Kid, did what he did and he died
