lyrics

Took all my shots
Not the ones at the bar
To protect me from life’s dread disease
But you came along
And you silenced my song
And I knew I would need St. Louise
I love bacon
And a good cigarette
Love whiskey and turpentine too
But the thing that’ll kill me
The thing that’ll kill me,
The thing that’ll kill me is you
You crouch in the weeds
Take aim through the clearing
You polish your German engineering
Your mouth is a gun that shoots words one by one
As you lay me to rest
With sweet lead in my chest
I love bacon
And a good cigarette
Love whiskey and turpentine too
But the thing that will kill me
The thing that’ll kill me
The thing that’ll kill me is you
The thing that’ll kill me is you
The thing that’ll kill me is you
