1. I WANT TO KILL BILL CALLAHAN
i want to kill bill callahan steal his fans
play those big shows with his band
wear his white suit and hold the hand
of his good wife at his funeral
and just as he’d have liked yes she's dressed sexy
and so's to be polite so am i
well this morning i lay out on the lawn
to watch the mist move easy
and wondered if tonight the river it might maybe
look like a knife again and i've no reason to believe that it won't cut me
the cat came home alright for a while we thought wed lost him
shaking dry food all afternoon calling out his name
but we heard nothing but the birds
absurd now to think how sure we were
i want to kill bill callahan might kill jeff mangum too
i want to kill bill callahan its what i'll do
2. WELL THE ARROW IT HAS FLOWN
well the arrow it has flown
and all i know to do is hide
and hope it all blows over
passes me be
i'm watching doors in the corridor
of my life slam
i'm not a brave man
not at all
well the arrow it has flown
and all i know to do is hide
