Shallow Grave Songtext
von The A-Bones

There′s nothing to do in this town
You just get in the cars and cruise around
The urban sprawl and desert down in Tucson
They shiver when the story's told
Of the piercing eyes and hearts of gold
In the teenage bars and shopping malls of Tucson

He was born to lose
Hair dyed black in Beatle boots
One foot sticking from a shallow grave in Tucson

The parties lasted through the night
There was beer and music in the paradise
For the bored and lonely teenage girls of Tucson

Nobody seemed concerned
When two or three didn′t return
Just another runaway in Tucson


He was born to lose
Hair dyed black in Beatle boots
One foot sticking from a shallow grave in Tucson
One foot sticking from a shallow grave in Tucson

Hyper players too
All the kids would follow
Led them down the golden road
To never-ending sorrow, hey hey!

Born to lose
Never left a single clue
Just one foot sticking from a shallow grave in Tucson
One foot sticking from a shallow grave in Tucson

Oh, the stories he would tell
Of the desert grave and the love that smelled
Of the decayed bodies of the teenage girls of Tucson

Sometimes a mother cries
When her little girl stays out all night
She thinks of one foot sticking from a shallow grave in Tucson

She thinks of one foot sticking from a shallow grave in Tucson
She thinks of one foot sticking from a shallow grave in Tucson
