And I can't even cross the line to talk you down
And Peter, sweet baby, would you get that gun?
You spent half your life trying to turn the other half around
And I tried to complain, but I guess it's no use
Face is all over, six o'clock news
They clear the streets and then they close the schools
I can't even get inside
Did you lose your head when the farm went down?
Or was it when your daddy died after you moved to town?
And I know your mama calls you good for nothing
She says her baby is a favor and she don't want you calling
And I tried to complain, but I guess it's no use
Face is all over, six o'clock news
They clear the streets and then they close the schools
I can't even get inside
And Peter, sweet baby, would you get that gun?
And Peter, sweet baby, there's just something that I gotta say to you
I'm gonna have your baby this coming June
We could get a little place down by Gilmore Park
You could do a little time and save my broken heart
And I tried to complain, but I guess it's no use
Face is all over, six o'clock news
They clear the streets and then they close the schools
I can't even get inside
And I tried to complain, but I guess it's no use
Caller with head and he just shot you through
Now you're lying dead on the avenue
And I can't feel my broken heart
I can't feel my broken heart
I can't feel my broken heart
