Joe Murder - Cass McCombs

Who is Joe Murder?

I found him in your ear

Pinching a penny

Where no one could hear

Joe powdered your sinal bridge

Breaking through the crust

Powder turns to smoke

And smoke turns into dust

I burned my wallet

And purged my Soul

Blood for money

And fire for gold

Murder

Murder

Who is Joe Murder?

I met him on a job

Cutting a power

For the Spanish mob

Joe cut with milk sugar

To eliminate cost

Such a frugal drifter

But not all who wander are lost

I burned my wallet

And purged my Soul

Blood for money

And fire for gold

Murder
