I wonder when the summer started smellin' so bad
|
He woke up one morning and it seemed that way
|
He thought of that woman and it got him so mad
|
-- had to hold him to keep him away
|
There had to be something he could do about this
|
Then the feeling came on him like a shot
|
As soon as the woman -- taken
|
From me every last thing I got
|
|
Tell me, where do we go from here
|
Tell me, where do we go from here
|
There ain't no more pioneers
|
And the pain is so clear
|
|
His heart is beating fast as a child's
|
Those voices from his past, they were calling
|
They were saying what they always
|
do to get him more riled
|
He opens the door and starts falling
|
Then the call comes through on 9-1-1
|
And got him --, just another day baby
|
Then this woman starts screaming that he's got a gun
|
He's gonna blow her and her children all away
|
|
Can you tell me, where do we go from here
|
Tell me, where do we go from here
|
There ain't no more pioneers
|
And the pain is so clear
|
|
Policemen are down in the parking lot
|
And they'll come running, baby
|
when they hear the first shot
|
They're gonna kick down the door
|
and hear it ring twice
|
Here's your one last chance
|
to do somethin' nice
|
|
Can you tell me, where do we go from here
|
Tell me, where do we go from here
|
There ain't no more pioneers
|
And the pain is so clear
|
I wonder when the summer started
|
I wonder when the summer started
|
I wonder when the summer started
|
Smellin' so bad, baby
|
