This is the day that I will die
I can feel it in my soul but I won't cry
It's not sudden or unexpected
For the woman on whom my hate I've directed
Has sent me a letter, "You will die."
I called the sheriff and I called the judge
But they said there's no stopping that woman
When she settles a grudge
And so I went out, bought a gun
Bought a horse and packed my stuff
Set out fast, burned my house with gas
And now I'm on the run
Three days in and I still feel her breath on my neck
I'm sweating and I am a nervous wreck
Low on water and low on food
But now I'm halted by this Indian dude
Who says "You can't pass"
Where the hell am I supposed to go
when the vampire queen is surely soon to show
The sun beats down and I go mad
See the world as a plastic bag
And I pass out after hours of running
I woke up and I made camp
Set a fire, got in my sleeping bag
With my gun loaded and laying by my side
It was the most in weeks that I felt alive
It was then that the vampire queen did hunt me
Oh Josephine the vampire queen
Dark tormentor of all my dreams
Scared me bad and sent me off a running
Now she's got a gun to my head
Bang bang bang and I am dead
