This song is about a thief who has just lost all of his money and decides to rob someone, and he is thankful that the guy he is robbing is a peaceful man and doesnt try to attack him, so he gets away with the money without hassle
They call me Carl Cane, I was a needed man
Had my cellphone buzzing in my closed left hand
Now I'm fixing my eyes on a peaceful man
I lost my money in these hills behind this dried up city 'neath the wildest skies
Now I'm counting my coins by the neon signs
He's pointing his toes towards the night
Waiting for a cab maybe, but I dont mind
Well he's got things that i once had
My cold heart races, my knuckles white
The sun long set: keeps me out of sight
Till I turn his shoulder and shake his bones
Oh god bless the peaceful man
Ooh, ooh
Ooh, ooh
