Redhead

I can't remember to forget oh the day we met
Strung out like a 14 karat marionette
The parking lot was dark
Car made of steam
Bird in my ribcage screaming like a demon
There's a seven headed highway's
That can get me out
But i was pregnant with a belly full of lead
For that red head

Her momma's in the kitchen
Drunk by 5 o clock
Her daddy's gone missing with his mistress up the block
Big sister is running from the convent to the coven
Poor baby brother is still hiding in the oven
Anchor to the ankle, ankle to the knee
She swears as she tucks them into bed
That red head

I asked my baby for a glass of water
She brought me gasoline
I put a match to everything I had
She's the roulette's own red daughter
Every rube comes clean
Cover me knee deep in wonderland
Under stand
Baby I'm yr man

Dancing in the black rain
Ashes to the ashtray
Hangman plays the mandolin
Panhandles the path train
Jumpin through the stained glass window of the chapel
I hit the ground flapping my lapels full of shrapnel
The devil's hot breath on the back of my neck
Turned around and found her there instead
That red head

I asked my baby for a glass of water
She brought me gasoline
I put a match to everything I had
She's the roulette's own red daughter
Every rube comes clean
Cover me knee deep in wonderland
Under stand
Baby I'm yr man
