cassius clay was hated more than sonny liston
some like kk downing more than glenn tipton
i put my feet up on the coffee table
i stay up late watching cable
i like old movies with clark gable
just like my dad did when he was home
just like my dad did when he was thinking
i know an old woman ran a doughnut shop
she worked late serving cops
place ain't the same no more
place ain't the same no more
not without my friend eleanor
place ain't the same no more
i buried my first victim when i was nineteen
went through her bedroom and the pockets of her jeans
and found her letters that said so many things
i never breathed her name again
but i like to dream about what could have been
i never heard her calls again
