Heart of Lead

When it happened, when it happened
I was nowhere near where it happened
I was somewhere else back then
In fact, I'm somewhere else right now
But I'll admit when I first saw what happened
It was like any other day
I saw his mouth locked open and his eyes in terror
And I just couldn't feel the same way

I was at the Men's Wearhouse buying a shamrock suit
Like the dandy from Hell
Hoping the boisterous and gaudy material
Would glare in your eyes and distract you from my
Heart of lead

When they brought me in for questioning
I was throwing darts in lovers' eyes
Hidden behind wine red glasses
Leaden heart that shrinks in size
And they asked me, "What's with that ridiculous outfit?
The luck of the Irish walks alongside you"
I said, "I sure hope I get to meet her someday"
Until then I'm stuck here with my
Heart of lead

When it happened, when it happened
I felt nothing at all when it happened
When the clover green turned a crimson red
And the sky went black and my heart turned to lead
But the Brooding Indie Musician in me
Doesn't know the definition of subtlety
