lyrics

Beth, shoot the gun
Beth, shoot the gun
Beth, shoot the gun
Beth, shoot the gun
The gun
The gun
The gun
The gun
The gun
The gun

Bill lay next to a pile of Friday clothes
And a television set on the floor;
Beth kneeled down and caressed his pallid face,
She did not leave him a kiss:
No, she went for the door with haste,
Looking back at Bill only once.
As she locked the door behind her
She looked at the name on the door;
She made a mental note whereby
She paired the phonetics of Reid with misery.
And she ran
In the direction of the knoll
Offsetting the suburb’s grocery stores
With nothing to show for but mounds of salt.
As the sun was pressing
It was clear to her, too:
Beth
Valentine
Would be her name from then on,
A kind-hearted girl—
Saccharine knuckles,
Coagulated blood.
