The Butcher Lyrics - Walking Papers - Walking Papers

Who knows how he got out early 

how he got a second chance 

it's funny who we meet 

in a back of an ambulance 

sometimes the guy gets lucky 

and this time it was with a nurse 

just when things can get no worse 

So she moved in a stranger 

I could tell it was no good 

but mothers do all sorts of things 

that their babies don't think they should 

he introduced us to his demons 

we started moving in reverse 

just when things can get no worse 

well that's when they do, baby 

So when they finally found his body 

he'd been layin' out their for weeks 

seems he and the butcher knife went dancing 

must have been cheek to cheek 

she started talking crazy 

'bout a pistol in her purse 

just when things can't get no worse 

that's when they do, baby
