A Balladeer - Poster Child lyrics

The smell of the sage bush reaches your brain The scent of the pines from the snow covered range You came out tonight there in search of a friend Well, the Wyoming wind wants to play with your bangs Hang on, handsome We are going to get you out of here quick Hang on, handsome Just wait, and watch out for the bicyclist The sun it goes down now, for a second black night It's you in the outskirts, not a soul here in sight The beautiful sky as your last piece of hope The same moon and stars that you saw through the telescope Hang on, handsome We are going to get you a new pair of shoes Hang on, handsome The bicyclist he will know what to say and do Jury selection begins today in Laramie, Wyoming, for the trial of 23 year-old Aaron McKinney McKinney faces charges of kidnapping, aggravated robbery and first-degree murder In the beating d**h one year ago of gay University of Wyoming student Matthew Sheppard Hang on, handsome We are going to get you out of here quick Hang on, handsome Just wait and watch out for the bicyclist According to police, early one morning they got a call about a fight down a neighborhood street Aaron McKinney and Russell Henderson spotted two young men slashing car tires, then got into a brawl After police broke up the fight, they looked inside McKinney's pick-up truck and found Shepard's credit card A blood-covered .357 magnum pistol, and a pair of leather shoes But none of it made sense until Sheppard was found beaten and unconscious tied to a fence Laramie, Wyoming is finally on the map. Across the country, everyone knows where Laramie is now, for all the wrong reasons
