It was a humid summer of disease, mosquitoes and heat strokes I was working on an assembly line Until school started up And that's where I met Ben, yeah "I'm a eunuch," Ben said I was in my prime when they cut me down Yeah, they were tired of me chasing their daughters And burning their precious mill to the ground They got me When I stole Mr. Beck's Corvette His yapping shih tzu riding shotgun Yeah, I parked it in the lake And learned to swim Yeah, I was too worn out to run I met Lily in the Milledgeville Asylum They fixed her as same as me Yeah, she's my half-way infernal beauty They cut us both down like rotten trees But we were blooming, they said I broke the shallow story Just see me when I'm sleeping It's worse, when I'm tired and alone Lily smiling, picking bugs off of the altar And a rose is pulled to bits Blood-soaked tuxedo The last time I saw Ben Blood rolled down the conveyor belt He was injured bad but still working Swearing he'd send some guy to help Ben said "I don't mind that they shot me If I'm being honest, I deserved it But what he did to my sweet Lily She don't deserve that one bit" Looking at Ben's eyes I knew he meant it Then I realized I was a coward The next day I heard Those cheap apartments by the river had burned down A few people died, and Ben was long gone In my dreams they watch the fire Twinkle teeth glitter like polished guns Seen them on the highway Her toes tapping on a suitcase In a new Corvette, birds aiming at the sun Yeah, I'm dreaming on the run Always driving towards the sun Yeah always dreaming on the run Yeah they're driving straight for the burning sun
