I Voted For Kodos - Shallow Grave lyrics

He never wanted it like this Just for once, (he'd) like to be greeted with a kiss But he's scared of his own home She never leaves him alone For twenty-three years he stood silently While she took his manhood, and his dignity but Now the kids are all gone This shouldn't take very long He dug a shallow grave To the earth he took his spade Couldn't stand for one more day So he dug a shallow grave He takes breath and he says a prayer He raises his shovel high into the air He brings it down upon her head Just one blow and now she's dead He drags her body to the back door Leaves a trail of blood on the floor He bends down to close her eyes And then he starts to cry But never the less, he's glad that she's gone He throws her in the ground and he piles the dirt on He goes inside to wash his face He feels his heart begin to race He dug a shallow grave To the earth he took his spade Couldn't stand for one more day So he dug a shallow grave He Starts to realize just what he's done He goes into the basement, and he grabs his gun He puts the barrel to his head He can't believe she's really dead What will he tell the neighbors, when they pa** by the way? What will he tell the children, when they come on Christmas day? What will he tell her parents, when they ask for their daughter? What will he tell the D.A. when they charge him with manslaughter? He pulls the trigger and he hears a click The quick solution's not always the quickest fix He dug a shallow grave To the earth he took his spade Couldn't stand for one more day So he dug a shallow grave
