The Ballad of Hector and Sarah
Has anybody checked on Hector?
He's a reclusive stamp collector
I saw him just the other day
But he turned and walked away
He's all alone in that apartment
Things started to fall apart just when
His mind was led astray
Now he's stuck in this charade
He's gotten really good at passing time
(What does he do to pass the time?)
Re-reading letters from a life that's passed him by (Life that's passed him by)
Has anybody heard from Sarah?
The last I knew her whereabouts were off in parts unknown
She prefers to dream alone
She left of her own volition
Put her key in the ignition of her beat-up Chevrolet
Then she made her getaway
She thinks that murder is just killing time
(She kills another glass of wine)
Lights up a smoke and claims there's something in her eye (Something in her eye)
(Says her last goodbye)
Has anybody checked on Hector?
He should've bought that smoke detector
Before his life when up in flames
Things will never be the same
He's a reclusive stamp collector
I saw him just the other day
But he turned and walked away
He's all alone in that apartment
Things started to fall apart just when
His mind was led astray
Now he's stuck in this charade
He's gotten really good at passing time
(What does he do to pass the time?)
Re-reading letters from a life that's passed him by (Life that's passed him by)
Has anybody heard from Sarah?
The last I knew her whereabouts were off in parts unknown
She prefers to dream alone
She left of her own volition
Put her key in the ignition of her beat-up Chevrolet
Then she made her getaway
She thinks that murder is just killing time
(She kills another glass of wine)
Lights up a smoke and claims there's something in her eye (Something in her eye)
(Says her last goodbye)
Has anybody checked on Hector?
He should've bought that smoke detector
Before his life when up in flames
Things will never be the same
