St. Killing Blues

Remember those days back in Rome
We drank cheap wine and felt like home
We talked ‘ bout doing love, and I did though
We were sixteen and you know how things go
So it’s good you didn’t fall in love with me
Cause there would’ve been some killing anyway


Later I tried this other guy
Loved his big hair, but remained too shy
Too stoned to notice, bet you know
We were sixteen and you know how things go
No, it’s good you didn’t fall in love with me
Cause there would’ve been some killing anyway


The bricks that in my heart now, the needles in my skin now
The scissors cutting my veins and the planet stuck under my feet
It all can’t compare to misery
Of your lovely, lovely body next to me
Oh no, it’s good you didn’t fall in love with me
Cause there would’ve been some killing anyway


And after two weeks you’d have shown the door
“cause you don’t love like me, no you love more
it ain’t your fault, think you should know
we’re just sixteen and you know how things go”
then it’s good you didn’t fall in love with me
cause there would’ve been some killing anyway
