lyrics

My name is Tobias, I’ll keep my last name to myself
I robbed the service station on 13th and South
I had lost my straight job, and so had Kathleen
Hers and my supply had run out of methamphetamine

It was my brother’s pistol, but he had moved away
And in the crawlspace it had remained patient for that day
The girl behind the counter, no more than twenty-four
That old jack of diamonds was tattooed on her arm

She did not push the button, but she must have moved too sharp
I pulled the trigger, turned around, and ran into the dark

Follow your headlights, mind not to go too fast,
Hear that pistol’s sharp report, see its blinding muzzle flash
I don’t know if I killed her, the papers didn’t say
I dialed the station’s number one time and hung up right away

Sleep comes too quickly and I don’t like what I dream
Being alone is pretty damn hard, and harder when you’re clean
I don’t know when they’ll find me, but I know it will be soon
They’ll find me in a fallow field, howling at the moon

This is my confession, but it also is my plea
Won’t you redirect Kathleen if she’s asking after me?
