Revenge

from "Red Shift" by Echo Bloom

lyrics

- Revenge -

I woke up in a roadside Holiday Inn
beneath a dusty ceiling fan
got out of bed and stretched my aching legs
and washed the night off of my hands
I counted 1, 2, 3, 4, bruises on my knuckles
and appreciated the pain
and watched the dirt and mud and blood and sin
swirling slowly down the drain

And if you ask me why I did it
I will answer with a grin
it was revenge

He was a child molester and he lived alone
in a cabin out by the lake
and everybody knew it but a'nobody could prove it
so we decided to set him straight
I thought of it as some community service
a bullet would do the trick
but it'd be way too loud and it'd be way too messy
and it'd be over way too quick

And if you ask me why I did it
I will answer with a grin
it was revenge

Rolled the window down in my El Dorado
for some fresh air on my face
and in the seat beside me there's a rope and a hammer
and a soggy old suitcase
and I beat the rhythm of Waylon Jennings
on the cracking steering wheel
singing right there with me "I just can't help
the way that I don't feel"

And if you ask me why I did it
I will answer with a grin
it was revenge

I pulled up to my cousin's funeral parlor
in the middle of the night
and we dragged the suitcase to the basement furnace
and we threw it all inside
And I watched it burning through a little window
'til it melted all away
and then we went upstairs to eat an early breakfast
and get ready for the day

And if you ask me why I did it
I will answer with a grin
it was revenge
