Headsman Ave.

Julie was a nun but she couldn't find God
She laid awake thinking all night long
She was searching for the truth
Searching for the truth so she could sleep

And oh, how the headsman cried all the way home to you

Suzie couldn't run so she turned into a tree
All the kids would pick off all of her leaves
Because she wouldn't bear the fruit
No she wouldn't bear the fruit for them to eat

And oh, how the headsman cried when he saw her rolling too

Annie was a poet but she couldn't find the words
And everyone thought she was so absurd
But the visions in her head
The visions in her head were so divine

And oh, how the headsman cried when he saw she was through

And oh, how the lovers died and the days were so blue
