How the hell could you know how a human should behave
When astronomically speakin you were just born yesterday?
And how the hell could I have felt your star growin faint?
It's just a flicker in the distance till one evening it ain't
Though a black hole on my shoulder, when I left you on the field
Fightin, we, for different causes but a similar ideal
Which was makin motherfuckers rich who can't care if we die
Burnin up (on reentry) or out (in the nebulae)
And how the hell could I have saved my outrage from decline
When biochemically speaking I am changing all the time?
And how the hell could you expect that much from anyone
When the world was in agreement you were right where you belonged?
Adderall and alcohol, Benzedrine and weed
Lookin from the outside-in on all my memories
Till I saw my pretext for its limp-dick cowardice
And the haunted imprint you left in my passenger seat
So by the point of pistol I surmised where you had gone
I overtook a freighter on I-81
I run him on the shoulder, made him open up his doors
And I stumbled cross the pallets till I found you on the floor
You got lost, honey, in a wilderness
I had hoped I wouldn't find you looking like this
I'll go back with a .45 in my hand
And I'm gonna kill him in the coldest blood I can
