The Business Man
(专辑: God, Forgive These Bastards: Songs From The Forgotten Life Of Henry Turner - 2012)
God, it never got easy, but it sure got good when the
Business man came to my adopted neighborhood There was a
bird I
named Frank, a
palace, a
steeple, and a
pile of Blankets outside of Trinity Cathedral Every weekday morning he would walk right by with a
three piece suit, new shoes, and a
tie And this dead face, real hate in his eyes. In such a
devilish way he would materialize He was put there to rob from men like me from the
broken down scoundrels that live on the
street So I
prepared for his initial attack; I
said to myself, "Henry, you gotta watch your own back You wanna make it outta here alive, you better learn to improvise " So there we were: one morning at dawn, he appeared at the
church with the
cold autumn fog, briefcase in hand, walking towards me So I
jumped from my blankets and sunk my teeth right into his ear and ripped it right off Blood poured down onto his luxury watch He ran away and I
went back to sleep, and when the
cops arrived, man, I
was relieved I
said, "Thank God ya'll are here. This bastard in a
business suit just tried to rob me And you know what? I
think he might have been the
fucking devil"
