Shallow Grave
He never wanted it like thi
Just for once, (he'd) like to be greeted with a kis
But he's scared of his own hom
She never leaves him alon
For twenty-three years he stood quietly
While she took his manhood, and his dignit
(but) Now the kids are all gon
This shouldn't take very lon
He dug a shallow grav
To the earth he took his spade
Couldn't stand for one more da
So he dug a shallow grav
He takes breath and he says a praye
Raises his shovel high into the ai
He brings it down upon her hea
Just one blow and now she's dea
Drags her body to the back doo
Leaves a trail of blood on the floo
He bends down to close her eye
And then he starts to cr
But never the less, he's glad that she's gon
Throws her in the ground and piles the dirt o
Goes inside to wash his fac
Feels his heart begin to rac
He dug a shallow grav
To the earth he took his spade
Couldn't stand for one more da
So he dug a shallow grav
Starts to realize just what he's don
Goes into the basement, grabs his gu
Puts the barrel to his hea
Can't believe she's really dea
What will he tell the neighbors, when they pass by the way
What will he tell the children, when they come on Christmas day
What will he tell her parents, when they ask for their daughter
What will he tell the D.A. when they charge him with manslaughte
He pulls the trigger and he hears a click
The quick solution's not always the quickest fi
He dug a shallow grav
To the earth he took his spade
Couldn't stand for one more da
So he dug a shallow grav
... no reason to get excited
