Sudden Death In Carolina Lyrics

Sudden Death In Carolina lyrics

Last night I swallowed liquor and a lighter
and this morning I threw up
fire
But it's nothing new
I've been piecing it together and it's got
something to do
with every look thrown like a knife across a crowded
room
And every slow and quiet car ride I spent drinking in the
backseat
Every stupid melody to every stupid song,
and every stupid word
that everybody's hanging on

What difference does this difference in age
make?
I know how it ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already
dead but
someone should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody
mess

Last night I fell asleep next to a liar
and I woke up with a
shiner
And it's all that I remember from a night spent lying on my back with
a view
of a stone white ceiling and the back of your head
And this quiet
dark bed feels like the middle of nowhere
And we beat each other up just
like we always do
When I'm talking to myself I'd always rather be talking to
you

What difference does this difference in age make?
I know how it
ends... she'll kill me quick.
Call 911, I'm already dead but
someone
should be caught and held responsible
for this bloody mess

Call
homicide, take the case to court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded
gun
I'm her number one chalk outline on the floor

They hung her from
the bridge on Monday
The gathering turned to a mob out on the lawn
They
dropped her body in the river
School and work returned to normal before
long
(before long... and no one will mention any of this again)

Call
911, I'm already dead but
someone should be caught and held
responsible
for this bloody mess

Call homicide, take the case to
court
Cause her lips taste like a loaded gun
I'm her number one chalk
outline on the floor
