Lyrics for Case 795 The Family by Mellencamp John Cougar:
| | | Artist: | Mellencamp John Cougar |
| | Album: | Human Wheels | | Track: | Case 795 The Family | | | | Date Added: | 18/10/2007 | | Views: | 165 | | | | Lyrics: | Tony Jones stabbed Alice Jones
On their first anniversary
Down in Dallas, Texas
In a
small apartment
With nobody present
He pulled out a knife
And he stuck it to
her
He left her bleeding
ON the floor in the kitchen
With cake on her
fingers
And her wedding ring holding
In her hand was a note
That said the wicked must
suffer
And he drove off quickly
To his girlfriend's apartment
But who really suffers
in the end?
It's easy enough for us all to pretend that
CHORUS
Everything's all
right with the family
Everything is safe here at home
Everything's all right with the
family
]The beds are made but there's no sheets on
>From the courtroom
stand
Tony said he was sorry
That he was sad and mixed up
And he didn't know what he
was doing
That he'd always love Alice
And he begged for forgiveness
So he threw
himself
On the mercy of the jury
And he told how his father
Had beat and abused
him
Back in grade school
In the basement den
And that maybe prison
Was the best
thing for him
And he said, "Oh God, Can you forgive me?" Yeah
But who really suffers in
the end?
It's early enough for us all to pretend that
CHORUS
How many
days does it take to make us weak?
And how many hours do people spend lonely?
In the heart
of the heart the family lay dying
The ruin of a nation lies at our feet,
yeah
CHORUS
