Lyrics changed to fit timeline... Dipped my heart and hands in honey. (seduced him; mesmerized him) Well, gold digger swore, (trust me) Told gold digger she was having my babies. (fell for it) Yeah, took gold digger up to Chapel Hill. (hook, line, and sinker) Married her fast (they hitched) Old digger took my money, (~$2,500) Oh, snake lady stole my savings (got 'em + 401k.) Murdered her young. Snake lady fell. Took my money back and made my run. (at this point, she dead, his ~2,500 dollars are recouped minus McDonald's and other expenses she's had in the meantime. Unsure of 401k standings, but those things take time, so he probably didn't get that back considering what happens next.) The rest leads to his demise. Got busted. Chair = el3ctriC chair. He dead. Interesting way of mixing up lines in the verses until he made his run out of town. I wonder if that was just due to helping the flow of the lyrics (rhyming) or if that was an idea he wanted to go with initially. Bus driver, all in red - what's the meaning there? park it on the cliff where that green grass grows - meaning there? |
