about

This was Robert's favorite song off the first demo, I hope you like it bud.

lyrics

Sitting in a holding cell
Holding on my only cell
I had one call and I called you
There’s a drunk guy
Next to me
One of them is
Trying to pee
I’m just sitting here
Breathing heavily

The guy with tattoos
Is talking about fucking you
I’m just avoiding eye contact
He pulls out a shiv
I’ve got a sec to live
But the guard comes in and beats him

Funny how that works
He’s framed as a jerk
He’s probably just had a long day
The man with the stick
Asks if I want a lick
Because apparently I looked at him funny
I said no officer
He said officer sir
And that’s when I decided to be quiet
He went in real close
Told me take of your clothes
And put the baton to my face
I got terrified
But tattoos was still alive
He jumped on the guards back to save me
The shiv punctured his lung
Guard winked and it was done
Tattoos and him were lifeless

Another guard came in
He gave his head a spin
He evaluated and decided I did this
He pulled out a gun
It was labeled number one
But two bullets entered my skull

Drunk and disorderly
Handled oh so cordially
Maybe I just pissed him off
My life flashing before me
The last thing that I could see
Was a janitor bringing out a mop

You arrived a little late
Too bad you missed our date
If only I had worn a seatbelt
