Botched Execution

[Verse 1]
They botched my execution back in 1996
I climbed out of a window and I hopped over the fence
Had to dig myself a tunnel, put my feet on the cement
And started running, running, running, ain't nobody seen me since

And now I've got to find a friend, someone to tell I didn't do it
But now my picture's in the paper, there's no way that I can prove it
And the body's in the closet 'cause I never got to move it
Now the neighbor kids are talking, saying, "Everybody knew it"

[Chorus]
Ah ah
All my little seeds have grown
Ah
Ah ah
Sooner later come back home
Ah ah ah
Oh

[Verse 2]
Leave a trail of crumbs, a lure for them to bite on
In a Motel 6, thank God nobody left the light on
Dressed myself in women's clothing and a wig that I had tried on
Tried to cleanse myself of all those alibis I had relied on

And now I'm lying on my back, looking at the ceiling
When suddenly I am distracted by that old familiar feeling
With the table and the devil and the cards that he was dealing
I was sure enough a slave and some poor soul I would be stealing tonight

[Chorus]

[Verse 3]
Well, hitched my skirt, climbed up the car on the railroad
Found myself a-gazing down the barrel at a crossroad
Hide out in the circus, rob a bank, hit the payload
Or wait out in the darkness with the freaks and kinda lay low

A storm had downed a power line, laying on the trainway
Standing in a puddle, felt a shock and in a ditch lay
In my final moments I could hear the lucky judge say
"Well, I guess the execution went as scheduled anyway"

[Chorus]
