Arsenic & Old Lace Lyrics by Jack Ziesemer

Warm Days of the New Harvest

2023

[Verse 1]
I drive a long thin road
It leads me out and gives (takes) me
(in) until the end in which
I will start, to begin again
[Chorus]
You're just a bullet going down the street
The direction is undetermined
You're just a man with expectations to meet
You're a slack jawed creep with a knife
Pavement on a two (one) way death
And which way will you find us (me) in
Skull and cross on an empty bottle
You drank yourself to death
[Verse 2]
Blood on his skull (hand) with a look
He walks through (out) the door and he thinks
"Who am I to pretend I am not?"
With a smile (smirk) on his face, lit in moonlight
[Chorus]
You're just a bullet going down the street
The direction is undetermined
I'm (you're) just a man with expectations to meet
You're a slack jawed creep with a knife
Pavement on a three (one) way death
And which way will you find me in
Skull and cross on a half full (an empty) bottle
You drank yourself to death
You're just a sucker going down the street
The direction is undetermined
I'm just a man with expectations to meet
You're a slack jawed creep with a knife
Pavement on a one way death
And which one will you find me
Skull and cross on an empty bottle
I'll have another glass
[Outro]
I drive a long thin road (You're just a bullet going down the street, the direction is undetermined)
I drive a long thin road (so far) (You're just a man with expectations to meet, you're a slack jawed creep with a knife
I drive so far (Pavement on a one way death, and which way will you find me in)
I drive so far (Skull and cross on an empty bottle, you drank yourself to death)
