Archibald Aspen Lyrics
Archibald Aspen
The world-famous cop
Didn't quite set out to be
Promoted within
From his job taking fingerprints
When they caught wind of his
Photographic memory
Known 'cross the Earth
But fame to him's worthless
Worth less than the shoes on his feet
He'd rather live quaint
Sculpt and paint
But he needs the paycheck for his family
Then one night
On his route
Saw two men
Sneaking out
Of an abandoned factory door
They saw each others' face
And knew if they escaped
They'd be tracked down tomorrow for sure
And with a blow to the head
Archibald fell to the floor
Archibald Aspen
Has one only son
Born on New Year's Day
Millennium Aspen
Is now ten years old
His little league team
Calls him "Aspen2k"
His mother comes home
And she calls for Millennium
Tells him she has some bad news
His dad's disappeared
And everyone fears
That he's lying somewhere
Beaten, battered, and bruised
All at once, Millennium jumps
And he swears it's time to attack
He says "mark my words
I'll search and I'll search
'Till I bring my father back"
Miss Aspen she smiles
Pats her son on the back
The world-famous cop
Didn't quite set out to be
From his job taking fingerprints
When they caught wind of his
Photographic memory
But fame to him's worthless
Worth less than the shoes on his feet
Sculpt and paint
But he needs the paycheck for his family
On his route
Saw two men
Sneaking out
Of an abandoned factory door
And knew if they escaped
They'd be tracked down tomorrow for sure
Archibald fell to the floor
Has one only son
Born on New Year's Day
Is now ten years old
His little league team
Calls him "Aspen2k"
And she calls for Millennium
Tells him she has some bad news
And everyone fears
That he's lying somewhere
Beaten, battered, and bruised
And he swears it's time to attack
He says "mark my words
I'll search and I'll search
'Till I bring my father back"
Pats her son on the back
