When Walter went crazy She was sitting on the couch Painting her toenails And drinking a tab He walked out of the bedroom with a cigarette in his mouth And he poured gasoline in a circle all around the house When Walter went crazy He had rattlesnake in his eyes Blended whisky in his veins and murder in his heart She watched him walk out the door and knew he was gone Matlock on the TV and her mama on the phone When Walter went crazy, they say he just snapped It had gone on for so long and she wasn’t coming back She hadn’t been off the couch in at least a dozen years Deafened by the silence and the grinding of the gears His friends could see it coming like yellow piss on snow Like a house fire in the distance, like a car crash in slow mo Their friends could see it coming but what could someone do When it’s speeding down the runway and The brake line’s cut in two When Walter went crazy The house went up in flames You could see his hands shaking From the bourbon and the shame He never planned the ending He just rolled the credit names When the lights came up we all went home But never quite the same When the lights came up we all went home But never quite the same When the lights came up we all went home But never quite the same
