I met you in a biker bar in longview

But it wasn't how I'd like it to be

With a spider tattoo behind his left ear
EmBmAmGD
Saying "Back away or get set to swallow your own teeth"

But you know me

Searching for a crutch or a cup to pour us in hope morrison

And he got in a few shots to the face

And as I lay I see the door open up from the bar
