lyrics

I walked in darkness
to the corner store
I had two crumpled dollars
for my corner whore
I called her name out and it gave her a scare
when she turned to run I got two hands in her hair

And I look right down
into her eyes
I'm known to love her
and I'm known to tell lies
held her mouth closed so that she could not shout
held them there until her last breath crept out

Called my mother and she said I'm deranged
my body's shaking, I'm feeling so strange
called a preacher and it was quite a bore
it's three days later, there's still blood on the floor

Laid her body underneath of the trees
I'm just so happy that she's resting in peace
I lost all that I loved in this world
now I'm searching for a new corner girl
