JAKE THE RAKE (HEAVEN BOUND)

ONCE HAD A FRIEND I LOVED HIM DEARLY
WENT BY THE NAME OF JAKE THE RAKE
DIED A DEATH OF LOWERED EXPECTATION
HAD ALL THE HURT A MAN COULD TAKE

FIFTY BUCKS A SPANISH QUARTER
THE PRICE WAS DEAR & COOL AS ICE
YOU CAUGHT ME STANDIN’ ON THE CORNER
WAITING FOR THE MAN TO PAY THE PRICE

NOW MY MAN JAKE HAD ALL THE ANSWERS
HE HID HIS KIT INSIDE HIS SHOW
THEY FOUND HIS BODY HIDDEN IN A DARK GARAGE
THEY NEATLY FOLDED HIM IN TWO

SUITCASE IN HAND I LEAVE TOMORROW
FIRST RIDE THAT’S GOING HEAVEN BOUND
I’M HEADING NORTH TO ICY WATER
EITHER WAY, EITHER WAY I’M GOING DOWN
