One For The Cutters
Lyricist:Craig Finn, Tad Jason Kubler
When there weren't any parties she'd park by the quarry Walk into the woods until she came to a clearing Where townies would gather and drink until blackout Smoke cigs 'til they're sick, pack bowls and then pass out
Windows wide open to let the hard rock in This was the rage it didn't need much convincing The girls gave her glares, but the boys were quite pleasant To be totally honest, they didn't seem much different
When there weren't any parties Some time she'd party with townies
Out on the parkways, after the parties It was always arousing when they'd rev up their engines It's hard to describe, so she kept it a secret The girls that she lived with, they knew nothing about it
That night with the fire and the butterfly knife Was the first night she spent with that one guy that she liked She gave him a ride to some kid's house in Cleveland He stayed there for two weeks, the cops finally found him
He didn't seem that different except for the blood on his jacket He didn't seem that different except for maybe his haircut He didn't seem much different
They didn't seem that different up until this one little incident Find more lyrics at ※ Mojim.com They didn't seem much different
Now the cops wanna question everyone present They parade every townie in town to the station But no one says nothing and they can't find the weapon The girl takes the stand and swears she was with him Her father's lawyers do most of the talking
She's sick of the questions, sick of the concept of justice and fairness Who the hell who cares who gets caught in the middle She smokes and she ponders this riddle
When one townie falls in the forest, can anyone hear it? When one townie falls When one townie falls in the forest does anyone notice?
One drop of blood on immaculate Keds Mom don't know where her girl is Sophomore accomplice in a turtleneck sweater Dad do you know where your kids are?
Sniffing at crystal in cute little cars Getting nailed against dumpsters behind townie bars It's a cute little town with streets and cafés The fronts all seem nice, she was getting good grades But when she came home for Christmas She just seemed distant and different
