Monica

Jim Shepard

I left Monica, flew to Tahiti
Drove myself crazy, bought me a gun
Inhaled fantasies, rented a TV
Sat on the beach and thought hard

We smoked Colombo and I studied Columbo and his policeman ways
Hawaii Five-0, Kojak and Mannix
And Son of Sam fantasies came to my brain, am I sane?
If I find you will I waste you?

Monica, life's been hard, and I ain't no bounty hunter
I know New York's a big town, but I'll find you

I was never into violence or crud
Or political games and obsessions
But my new TV is my best friend
And now I subscribe to "The Gazette"

I left Tahiti, flew back to the city
On the way, I thought of you, Monica
You fucked me over, over, and over
And now you get what's coming to you

I've got a bullet with your name engraved upon it
And it's for you, Monica
I gave you flowers and I brought you candy
But what did I get from you?
The flu, bankruptcy too
Girl, I've got something to give you

Monica, life's been hard, and I ain't no bounty hunter
I know New York's a big town, but I'll find you

I was never into love or romance
But Monica, you made a promise
Here's one for you, I've got nothing to lose
Death is gonna come upon us
