Shallow Grave - I Voted For Kodos

He never wanted it like this

Just for once, (he'd) like to be greeted with a kiss

But he’s scared of his own home

She never leaves him alone

For twenty-three years he stood silently

While she took his manhood, and his dignity

But Now the kids are all gone

This shouldn’t take very long

He dug a shallow grave

To the earth he took his spade

Couldn’t stand for one more day

So he dug a shallow grave

He takes breath and he says a prayer

He raises his shovel high into the air

He brings it down upon her head

Just one blow and now she’s dead

He drags her body to the back door

Leaves a trail of blood on the floor

He bends down to close her eyes

And then he starts to cry

But never the less, he’s glad that she’s gone

He throws her in the ground and he piles the dirt on

He goes inside to wash his face

He feels his heart begin to race

He dug a shallow grave

To the earth he took his spade

Couldn’t stand for one more day

So he dug a shallow grave

He Starts to realize just what he’s done

He goes into the basement, and he grabs his gun

He puts the barrel to his head

He can’t believe she’s really dead

What will he tell the neighbors, when they pass by the way?

What will he tell the children, when they come on Christmas day?

What will he tell her parents, when they ask for their daughter?

What will he tell the D.A.

when they charge him with manslaughter?

He pulls the trigger and he hears a click

The quick solution’s not always the quickest fix

He dug a shallow grave

To the earth he took his spade

Couldn’t stand for one more day

So he dug a shallow grave
