Davey Dead

When we got to the nightclub, I was less than thrilled

I saw who was in there and knew someone would get killed

The injury that had been done to me was too much to abide

I told my partner, "Go on home," and then I walked inside

Davey won't live one more day

His weakness and his wanderings are over

I pulled his mangled head away

And now he bothers no one, no more

I saw him in the corner, hatred in his mouth

And out of every hole, dishonesty and fear poured out

Just like every day, he was trying to get rid

Of the hopes and happiness and trust of every man and kid

Davey won't live one more day

His weakness and his wanderings are over

I put his feelings all away

And now he bothers no one, no more

You can't be bad and expect good things to shower over you

"Your reaping's from your sowing" is painstakingly true

If you destroy a child's perspective, here's what that child will do

Be faced with unrelenting hardship and render terror back at you

I took him by the collar, took him by the face

Threw him in the tractor beam that pulled him from the place

Into the night sky, he was shot away from homes and bars

To ply his awfulness in vacuums, lost among the stars

Won't live one more day

His weakness and his wanderings are over

I put his mangled heart away

And now he bothers no one, no more
