lyrics

She had a broken right hand and a pair of red sunglasses
Getty said he’d make her queen of the trailer park
When she came over that night and they started to kiss
You could say that he didn't mind the scars up and down her wrists
And they walked around from June ‘til the end of summer
And they forget all their pain or at least their hunger
But sometimes she'd stay awake at night staring at his veins
Contemplating all the blood that they contain

You've got a heavy heart
You should have known from the start
You've got heavy heart
They're gonna tear you apart

Sharlena was half black but she was all ass
Getty didn't know that things could go this fast
But he put on the brakes when she showed up late
You know he was scared of what queenie'd say
Joe next door, with the pompadour
Kind of guy who could get anything you're looking for
Said he knew a guy who could solve any problem
If they could just deliver the volume

You've got a heavy heart
You should have known from the start
You've got heavy heart
They're gonna tear you apart

So these two motherfuckers walk into a bar
And they ask the barback how they can score
He was tall and thin looked a little stoned
Grabbed a baseball bat and said run home
So they hit the walgreens on the corner of Derry
For Sudafed and all the cash that they could carry
Junkie john had no shirt on
When they picked him up to help cook

You've got a heavy heart
You should have known from the start
You've got heavy heart
They're gonna tear you apart

They sat around while the radio played
Choking down queenie's bartles and jaymes
Getty lit a spliff and let it smolder
Commiserating the regret of getting older
How many wine coolers does it take to make a junkie cry?
They never found out because that was the night they died
Getty and joe burned up with the batch
While queenie and Lena made off with the stash

You've got a heavy heart
You should have known from the start
You've got heavy heart
They're gonna tear you apart
