Broke into her house. Saw her sittin' there,Drinking coke and whiskey in her bra and underwear.Saw him in the kitchen, hangin' up the phone.I asked him nicely please to pack his things and go.He gave her a firm, reassuring look that said he wouldn't leave.But I asked him once again and this time pulled out my shiv.I struck him in the back and I pulled it out slowAnd I watched him fall down,And as the morning sun rose,He looked at me and said:"You missed my heart.You missed my heart.You got me good. I knew you would.But you missed my heart.You missed my heart."Were his last words before he died.Looking out the window, up at the blue sky,Listening to her scream, listening to her cry.A feeling of relief came over my soul.I couldn't take it any longer and I lost control.I chased her up the stairsAnd I pinned her to the ground,SongtexteAnd underneath her whimpering,I could hear the sirens sound.I rattled off a list of everything I missedLike going to the movies with herAnd the way she kissed me.Driving into Wheeling and showing her off.Backyard barbecues and reunions in the park.I said I loved her skin and she started laughingAnd while I clenched down on her wristShe said "That's quite a list,But there's one thing you missed.You missed my heart, you missed my heartThat's quite a list, but what you really missed,You missed my heart, you missed my heartThat's quite a list, but what you really missed."Running through the parking lotRunning through the fieldsPolicemen on my backSomething hit my skull and crackedThey dragged me off to jail, set a million dollar bailWhere I tried to tie a noose, but I failed and I broke looseRacing through the prison yard,Shot down by a tower guardHe got me in the shinsAnd he got me in the armsThey strapped me in the gurneyTook me to the infirmaryWhere the priest read my last rightsAnd just before, everything went darkI said:"He missed my heart, he missed my heartAnd just before, my world went dark,I said he missed my heart, he missed my heartAnd just before, everything went dark."The most poetic dream came flowing like the seaLay in there my life, but draining out of meA childhood scene then, sky moon beams,Fishing with my friends sitting in the wild landsWatching the Ohio river flow at nightWaiting for the bullhead catfishes to biteDownriver from the Moundsville prison graveyards (x3) Aus Songtexte Mania
