The Butcher - Walking Papers

Who knows how he got out early

How he got a second chance

It’s funny who we meet

In a back of an ambulance

Sometimes the guy gets lucky

And this time it was with a nurse

Just when things can get no worse

So she moved in a stranger

I could tell it was no good

But mothers do all sorts of things

That their babies don’t think they should

He introduced us to his demons

We started moving in reverse

Just when things can get no worse

Well that’s when they do, baby

So when they finally found his body

He’d been layin' out their for weeks

Seems he and the butcher knife went dancing

Must have been cheek to cheek

She started talking crazy

'bout a pistol in her purse

Just when things can’t get no worse

That’s when they do, baby
