Evil - Shovels & Rope

Standing in line at the equestrian mart, looks like it’s about to rain

I’ve got two small kids and I’m late on the rent, wife’s dead two

Weeks to the day

Dead two weeks to the, two weeks to the day

Well the sun came out, but it was cold as hell;

my fingers were as

Numb as my mind

When my quarter horse 'Reg' kicked me in the head, while I was

Shoeing him up from behind

Shoeing him up, shoeing him up from behind

But every now and then I get evil

I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple

I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole

I hit my kids, but I don’t mean to

I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk

Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop

Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah

Melanie lives at the house next down, got a head full of auburn curls

I seen her standing in the mud with her baseball glove, spitting at the

Other girls

Spitting at the, spitting at the other girls

Well here she comes in the afternoon with some apples and a pack of

Reds

She bathes my babies, then she reads me to sleep;

nothing much ever

Gets said

Nothing much ever gets, nothing much ever gets said

But every now and then I get evil

I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple

I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole

I hit my kids, but I don’t mean to

I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk

Another victim of the mortgage bubble pop

Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah

Ooh, ooh

Well the cops show up with their lights turned off, judge Johnny from

Across the street

Had some calls light night 'bout something didn’t look right

Grab your things, you better come with me

Accusations in a room with a neon light;

she said, «don't you pay us

No mind»

All we ever shared was a loneliness, he and I was two of a kind

He and I was two of, was two of a kind

But every now and then I get evil

I’m ashamed in the shadow of the steeple

I’m a lunatic looking through a keyhole

I hit my kids, but I don’t mean to

I’m a dead dog lying on the sidewalk

'Nother victim of the mortgage bubble pop

Waiting on the other shoe to drop, ah
