Death By Misadventure - John Hiatt[00:00:00]
Well harry had a good job working for the secret[00:00:16]
Service[00:00:19]
Had a wife and kids at home made him awful nervous[00:00:20]
He never done a d**n thing you could call experimental[00:00:24]
And he had sicking feeling that his life was accidental[00:00:28]
So one lady burned his pinstripe suit and his[00:00:32]
Leather shoulder holster[00:00:34]
He snapped a polaroid and made a giant wanted poster[00:00:36]
He took it to the print shop and ordered up[00:00:40]
A thousand flyers[00:00:42]
Then walked next door to the laundromat and blew his[00:00:44]
Brains out in the drier[00:00:47]
And the tag[00:00:48]
On his toe[00:00:50]
Red death by misadventure[00:00:52]
Ain't that some way to go[00:00:56]
Death by misadventure[00:01:00]
Now harry's wife estella took this matter rather lightly[00:01:04]
She could have cried and cried but then her looks[00:01:08]
Might come unsightly[00:01:11]
So she thought about her wardrobe and how much it was[00:01:12]
Outdated[00:01:15]
And how this trumped family thing was vastly overrated[00:01:16]
Her kids both turned against her and they took to[00:01:20]
Drugs and stealing[00:01:23]
Some junkie killed 'em both for two dime bags they[00:01:24]
Were dealing[00:01:27]
And sitting home alone one night disgusted by it all[00:01:28]
She blew the soles off battle are we ninety nembutals[00:01:32]
And a tag[00:01:37]
On her toe[00:01:38]
Red death by misadventure[00:01:40]
Ain't that some way to go[00:01:44]
Death by misadventure[00:01:49]
So be careful how you choose your path and who[00:02:09]
You pick to go with[00:02:11]
Some folks they take to living fast while some prefer[00:02:13]
A slow death[00:02:16]
But some folks get confused and never quite know[00:02:17]
How they're going[00:02:20]
When you're laid out on that slab we're all the[00:02:21]
Worse for knowing[00:02:24]
That the tag[00:02:25]
On your toe[00:02:27]
Reads death by misadventure[00:02:29]
What a silly way to go[00:02:33]
Death by misadventure[00:02:37]
Ain't that some way to go[00:02:41]
With death by misadventure[00:02:45]
Such a silly way to go[00:02:49]
Death by misadventure[00:02:53]
And some about[00:03:00]
Death by misadventure[00:03:02]
Death by misadventure[00:03:09]
Death by misadventure[00:03:18]
