[00:23.58] Broke into her house. Saw her sittin' there
[00:28.53] Drinking coke and whiskey in her bra and underwear
[00:33.59] Saw him in the kitchen, hangin' up the phone
[00:39.32] I asked him nicely please to pack his things and go
[00:43.49] He gave her a firm, reassuring look that said he wouldn't leave
[00:48.79] But I asked him one more time and this time pulled out my shiv
[00:54.45] I struck him in the back and I pulled it out slow
[00:59.74] And I watched him fall down
[01:01.55] And as the morning sun rose
[01:04.80] He looked at me and said:
[01:07.86] "You missed my heart
[01:09.76] You missed my heart
[01:12.82] You got me good. I knew you would
[01:18.26] But you missed my heart
[01:20.31] You missed my heart."
[01:23.06] Were his last words before he died
[01:28.35] Looking out the window, up at the blue sky
[01:36.20] Listening to her scream, listening to her cry
[01:41.09] A feeling of relief came over my soul
[01:46.02] I couldn't take it any longer and I lost control
[01:51.36] I chased her up the stairs
[01:55.57] And I pinned her to the ground
[01:57.16] And underneath her whimpering
[01:59.44] I could hear the sirens sound
[02:04.28] I rattled off a list of everything I missed
[02:09.44] Like going to the movies with her
[02:12.45] And the way she kissed me
[02:14.88] Driving into Wheeling and showing her off
[02:19.58] Backyard barbecues and reunions in the park
[02:24.70] I said I loved her skin and she started laughing
[02:29.67] And while I clenched down on her wrist
[02:32.78] She said "That's quite a list
[02:35.60] But there's one thing you missed
[02:38.80] You missed my heart, you missed my heart
[02:43.92] That's quite a list, but what you really missed
[02:49.15] You missed my heart, you missed my heart
[02:54.36] That's quite a list, but what you really missed
[03:02.16] Running through the parking lot
[03:04.40] Running through the fields
[03:07.16] Policemen on my back
[03:09.12] Something hit my skull and cracked
[03:11.99] They dragged me off to jail, set a million dollar bail
[03:16.97] Where I tried to tie a noose, but I failed and I broke loose
[03:22.45] Racing through the prison yard
[03:25.16] Shot down by a tower guard
[03:27.76] He got me in the shins
[03:30.10] And he got me in the arms
[03:32.77] They strapped me in the gurney
[03:34.89] Took me to the infirmary
[03:38.04] Where the priest read my last rites
[03:41.44] And just before, everything went dark
[03:46.13] I said:
[03:48.69] "He missed my heart, he missed my heart
[03:53.85] He got me good, I knew he would
[03:59.10] But he missed my heart, he missed my heart"
[04:04.52] And just before, everything went dark
[04:11.62] The most poetic dream came flowing like the sea
[04:16.92] Laying there my lifeblood draining out of me
[04:21.88] A childhood scene then, sky moon beams
[04:27.38] Fishing with my friends sitting in the wild lands
[04:32.55] Watching the Ohio river flow at night
[04:37.90] Waiting for the bullhead catfishes to bite
[04:42.47] Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards
[04:53.38] Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards
[05:03.59] Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards
[05:14.02] Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards
[05:24.64] Downriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards
[05:29.75]
