I Killed Karen Lyrics

I'm not a musician
musicians drink blood
they tie themselves too tight
i've only got one chance to say this, so i'd better say it right:

mothers, your children are drowning
they got their fingers caught in the briar patch
and the queen is dead, that's what mozza said
and the king's late for his own crowning

i saw elvis standing there
hips were swingin' like mother earth
his hair was swollen with pomade
like the damn thing was givin' birth
to me

i tried to join you in yr celestial dance
but i had to leave early
i realized i had forgotten to wear pants
and that's the story
and now i'm here and you're there
and i'll never go back
i never had a chance to
i strangled the ghost of love
and killed caring, and i killed friendship, and romance, too
and left their stinking bodies on a crate by the shore
and if i hadn't done myself in, there prolly woulda been more

of this, i'm sure.
