Hadlock Padlock Lyrics - Kimya Dawson

i ran into matlock at hadlock padlock 

i said have you seen my love? 

he said he was over on elkins road 

face down in a puddle of blood 

then i ran into blair warner 

at the chevron at four corners 

i said did you see him die? 

she said that was just a rumor 

super duper small town trumor 

he was shipped off 

to treatment last night 

what goes around don't come around not in this town 

seven walls go up for every one wall that comes down 

and the old ladies pray they'll be young again someday 

do your job you dirty slob or nobody gets paid 

she was standing on the dock trying to hit the moon with rocks 

along came a man with his cock in his hand 

he said what do you think? she said i think you stink 

then she spit in his eye, said bye-bye, and pushed him in the drink 

then she went to the pay shower and pumped quarters for an hour 

even though she made it she still felt violated 

wrapped the soap on a rope around her throat 

said dear god i really hope you'll let me into heaven 

'cause i'm only eleven and i've got nowhere to go 

what goes around don't come around not in this town 

a subway sandwich shop goes up and the roller rink closed down 

and the kids all pray that they'll either get away 

or get a job like chad in dad's meth lab and become rich one day 

little david was learning to skate, practiced every single day 

kept falling and falling and falling but he finally learned to ollie 

he wondered who he'd tell, thought he would tell mel, 

but mel and all his other friends were in the county jail 

which is where i sent the letter that said things are gonna get better 

he said you've got it all wrong, why'd you write this stupid song? 

i said 'cause you're in my head even if you want me dead 

just because i said exactly what i meant doesn't mean i meant what i said 

what goes around don't come around not in this town 

you don't need karmic retribution if you've got good ammunition 

and mama always prayed that someday she'd get laid 

by some dumb fuck with a pickup truck and really good cocaine 

please do me a favor when you go to penny saver 

get a half-rack of lucky for the girls, 

two roast beef mighty bites, a pack of old gold lights, 

and meet us at the end of the world 

i'll be standing on the cliff with the sunset in my eyes 

i'll be too insignificant to feel the need to lie 

i wonder if this climbing that you city people do 

ever leads you to a place with such a pretty view 

what if what goes around is just a naked crying clown 

and the clouds split down the middle and a mighty hand comes down 

and we think that we are saved but the hand is made of clay 

and my tears make messy make up streaks all over my face 

what goes around don't come around not in this town 

seven walls go up for every one wall that comes down 

and the old ladies pray they'll be young again someday 

do your job you dirty slob or nobody gets paid 

nobody gets laid 

nobody gets saved 

do your job you dirty slob or nobody gets paid
