lyrics

Well the plan’s been hatched since the week before last
When Kathleen left and she ain’t come back
I bet my last dollar on a horse named cash
You can guess what happened with that.

So I borrowed a ski mask and my roommates gun
I’m gonna go downtown in the morning sun
Find a teller at the credit union
Say give me the money I won’t hurt noone.

Oh It’ll be easy
You ain’t gonna see me
Stuck in in your T.V.
On the morning news

The guy who bought my dirtbike
Has got a friend on the inside
He knows just what I
Aim to do

Cause I’m sick and tired of living hand to mouth
On a dirty mattress in a broke down house
If i had some flow I’d go down south
Start a new life all by myself

Or I could bust my ass for a dime a day
But you don’t get rich on honest pay
So I’ll take it all and be on my way
Now listen closely to what I say

I need a driver
Who ain’t got no priors
So you’re hired
Here’s what we’ll do

I took my brother Jimbo’s
Eighty-eight Fiero
Flies like an arrow
Fast and True

I ain’t had no luck of late but I feel my ship’s come in
I’m tired of being second rate it’s time for me to win

And if you see Kathleen won’t you tell her I’m okay
And I had had a thought about her since she left that day
But for what it’s worth For all that hurt
I’m sorry

Now Everybody get on the ground
Put your hands in the air and don’t make sound
Get the money in the bag and go lay down
If you don’t start trouble it won’t be found

Wow, hey there mister put away that gun
Don’t make me have to shoot someone
Oh my god what have you done
I was just trying to have some fun

Call Me a Doctor
And a lawyer
Make that my mother
I’m bleeding pretty bad

Tell Jimbo
About The Fiero
I Gotta Go

Carter Felker Calgary, Alberta

Carter Felker traffics in music, yes, but even more profoundly in essence: the humdrum essence of Monday morning alarms clocks coming round again during lifetimes ticking on through thoughtless dawn moments walking across the kitchen floor; the craven essence of sneaking wordlessly away from a relationship and feeling the mute screen door sag shut behind you; the essence of everyday struggles -MLW ... more
