lyrics

Mack lived at the edge of town
Such a complicated man
Only ever see him when
The sun goes down

He said the voices in his head
Tellin’ him go do some bad
So he shot Eliza dead
And put her in the playground

On the carousel
Where he laid her head
Her peaceful eyes
Staring to the skies

Mack he was a lawman’s son
Confessing of the crime he’d done
Upon the ground he threw his gun
Cryin’ mercy

Now the voices in his head
As silent as the grave is dead
A bullet hole that never bled
Cryin’ an cursin’

And the swings did blow
By a wind so cold
And her mother’s eyes
Brown from dust, red from cryin’
