I Shot Lily Brick Down

Well I knew it when I seen her in her Chinese shoes
Well I knew it when she bared her teeth at me
I saved up for a pistol, well I saved a thousand cans
Give 'em back, they give a thousand nickels to me, yeah

And if I died and went to heaven
Would Saint Augustine be praying for me? Singing
I shot Lily Brick down, yeah
I shot Lily Brick down, yeah

They say my eyes were full of spirals, don't remember it myself
Say I shot her down just to watch her die
I say that I was cornered, well I defended myself
I say the world was sick with sorrow and it cracked along the line

And if I died and went to heaven
Would Saint Augustine be praying for me? Singing
Yippee-kai-yai-yai-kai-yay, no no no
I shot Lily Brick down
Yippee-kai-yai-yai-kai-yay, no no no
I shot Lily Brick down

And I said the photographs were empty
I say I loved her 'til I found out she could talk
And I say the footage from the cameras in the bank are full of lies
I say the fingerprints are not mine
I say that I was cornered, well I defended myself
And I say the world was sick with sorrow and it cracked along the line

And if I died and went to heaven
Would Saint Augustine be praying for me? Now

Hey man
What are you saying down there?
Hey, hey
What you got in that bag, man?
What you say you got?
Oh, I don't believe you
No I don't believe you
No I don't believe you
No I don't believe you
