[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
