The lyrics tell a story made up by our bassist Dennis.
lyrics
I sit up on my rough blanket
And light the morn's first glow
His six string love is a poor trade
For the missing dough
I thought we had a drunk night
With Jack for company
My best friend's played the oldest trick
The fool who drank was me
The rat is gone, and so is the bait
Black bile is surging in my throat
Black thoughts start to materialize
Black blood is running through my veins
And it blackens my eyes
The rat is gone, and so is the bait
The bait that we'd been killing for
I can't believe that I got laid
By this damn greedy whore
I snatched four hundred horses
From a mommy’s-darling-twat
And let them feel my spurs now
Rosewood Junction lies ahead
He steps out of the baker’s
Two coffees in his hand
And drives back to our place
So I’m the traitor in the end
I should have known he’d never leave
Black bile is surging in my throat
Black thoughts start to materialize
Black blood is running through my veins
And it blackens my eyes
How could I think he would deceive
The only friend who’s there
I should have known he’d never leave
His babe for a million’s fare
How could I heed the voice
The voice of distrust that roared
Through my head, flicked the switch
Of confidence, erased all remnants
Of reason, and pulled the trigger
Of revenge?!
