Mighty Mighty Bosstones - A Jackknife To A Swan Lyrics

Font:      
Align:    
  • Shortly after Evelyn
  • Was doused with gasoline
  • And just a few miles off the avenue
  • A lighter flashed into a puff of smoke
  • For thirty years Walter worked right there
  • Five days out of every week
  • That's where he watched his hometown fade
  • The last came fast and furious
  • Just step in one direction
  • Stutter step for one split second
  • Faster through the intersection
  • A jackknife to a swan...and he was gone.
  • When Walter's shift was over
  • He'd head out to catch the red line home
  • Two stops away his family slept
  • He'd be there when they got out of bed
  • Destination subway station
  • Someone yelled so he looked back
  • Five guys were heading his way
  • He ran to catch that last train home, step...
  • Oh Walter ran--did they kill Evelyn?
  • He had his token in his hand
  • But he jumped over the turnstile
  • And he ran down the platform
  • They were hot on his heels
  • An outbound was bearing down on him
  • Walter jumped in front of it, just step...
