| [00:12.189] | It was a humid summer |
| [00:13.748] | Of diseased mosquitoes and heat strokes |
| [00:16.358] | I was working on an assembly line 'til school started up |
| [00:19.974] | And that's where I met Ben, yeah |
| [00:27.398] | "I'm a Eunuch," Ben said |
| [00:29.708] | "I was in my prime when they cut me down |
| [00:33.603] | Yeah, they were tired of me chasing their daughters |
| [00:36.718] | And burning their precious mill to the ground |
| [00:41.110] | Yeah, they got me when I stole Mr. Beck's Corvette |
| [00:46.308] | His yapping Shih Tzu riding shotgun |
| [00:49.409] | Yeah, I parked it in the lake and learned to swim |
| [00:53.295] | Then I was too worn out to run |
| [00:58.219] | Yeah, met Lily in the Milledgeville Asylum |
| [01:02.590] | They fixed her the same as me |
| [01:05.727] | Yeah, she's my halfwit infertile beauty |
| [01:09.110] | They cut us both down like rotten trees" |
| [01:14.808] | "But we were blooming," Ben said |
| [01:17.938] | "I broke us out and stole a ring" |
| [01:21.038] | Still see them when I'm sleeping |
| [01:26.470] | In dreams when I'm tired and alone, huh |
| [01:33.213] | Lily's smiling, picking bugs off of the altar |
| [01:39.918] | And a rose is pinned to Ben's blood-soaked tuxedo |
| [01:52.369] | Last time I saw Ben |
| [01:54.939] | Blood rolled down the conveyor belt |
| [01:58.314] | He was injured bad but still working |
| [02:02.148] | Swearing he'd send some guy to hell |
| [02:08.263] | Ben said, "I don't mind he shot me |
| [02:11.132] | If I'm being honest, I deserved it |
| [02:14.761] | But what he did to my sweet Lily |
| [02:18.607] | She don't deserve that one bit" |
| [02:22.520] | Looking in Ben's eyes, I knew he meant it |
| [02:25.101] | Then I realized I was a coward |
| [02:27.951] | Next day, I heard those cheap apartments |
| [02:30.788] | Near the river had burned down |
| [02:32.580] | A few people died |
| [02:34.890] | And Ben was long gone |
| [02:39.250] | Huh, yeah |
| [02:43.855] | In my dreams, they watch the fire |
| [02:49.059] | Yeah, their twin gold teeth gleam like polished guns, huh |
| [02:55.982] | See them on the highway, her toes tapping on a suitcase |
| [03:03.277] | In a new Corvette, Ben's aiming at the sun |
| [03:11.276] | Yeah |
| [03:14.666] | Yeah, I dream they're on the run, yeah |
| [03:20.110] | Always driving towards the sun, huh |
| [03:25.295] | Yeah, I always dream they're on the run |
| [03:30.203] | Yeah, they're driving straight for the burning sun |
