(G. Liszt, inspired by the traditional ballad Little Sadie)
Im just a number in here
But in the world Im famous
You know my legend
Know what my name is
k**ed my girl
Cold blood in the first degree
And living and breathing
Is naught but a curse to me
Skin of alabaster and a pristine smile
Sapphire eyes with a childlike guile
Oh my siren her
Fire and fineness
Made me molten
Sated it made me mindless
My pa**ion dutiful
Stark in darkening savage and beautiful!
I trusted this girl
This lusterless pearl
Now theres nothing Ill ever trust in this world
Her pa**ion
Smothered to ash and then faded to an ember
But I loved her still May to November
Its twisted what her kiss did its silent chilliness
So vile and bilious
That I could not be calm, but I did try to be, tried
But I could not stand back idly
Her pretty pale lips, kissed and lied to me
Freed that demon of mine with a whisper goodbye to me
Something broke open unbridled inside of me
I flooded with an ire so fiery
The thought of her willowy way
Powered a vengeance
I swore that I will repay
I got into bed but I could not take any rest
Each beat of the heart like a stake in the breast
Each breath shallow
Taken with an aching chest
I lay shattered awake and depressed
No longer mild in demeanor, steadily
Deadly my thoughts, wilder and meaner
Angers ember lit up a roaring flame
I stumbled up out into the pouring rain
The gloom and the grayness
Ruined and heinous
I wandered the town for hours aimless
For nights on end I made miles in circles
A shell of a man heartless
Living in the darkness
Every drop dried out of my mouth
Up out of my gullet
I loaded that gun up
Bullet by bullet by bullet
I wandered around town drinking like always
Shadowed in alleys, doorways, hallways
A shadow black wallower
She walked home all alone and I followed her
I crept up out of the gloom
She turned to me right there
Straight out of a nightmare
Color bleakened black
The world got soundless
Nobody else anywhere around us
Her beauty blinded me in blood lust
I did not see the gleam of the blade
And the blood gush
But I felt it wild and blissful
I looked her in the eye and fired that pistol
I dumped her in a dumpster
Shot and rotten and dead
Strode home and I got in the bed, blood
Boiling up in the body, hot in the head
I finally faded to blackness
Forty-four pistol just a little under the mattress
Woke up and made a run for
Knowing I was done for
With the police banging on the front door
I made it away by some kind of miracle
Late in the day got to the hills of Jericho
Made a good run
But I knew when they found me
Every man in the bar was closing in around me
They threw me through a dry wall
And with the red of the blood in my eyeball
I said
Youre making a mess my name is Lee
I murdered her in the first degree
They took me to the train dressed up in black
And I died every mile for rest of the track
Judge got righteous
Talking about justice
But Id rather be dead than that
Lifeless, lustless
Its a capital crime dont do me any favors
She shouldnt have messed around
Just read me the papers
Im in a rotbox now
Hauling a ball and chain
I live and I breath
But I do it all in vain
Nothing to do here
But think about my vices
So I sleep and dream her
Beautiful but lifeless
Id rather be dead
So that I really might rest
Instead of dreaming about that
Bloodstained lily white breast
Go get a razor to shave me
Dont even bother to save me
Im thinking about you Sadie
Coming to see you in Hades
Im a criminal past a shadow of a doubtlet
Ready to die plug me into that outlet
