Orange County Suicide Songtext
von Billy Bob Thornton

She staggered from the house and snaked to my car
The haggard little spouse had a thing for seedy bars
She begged to let her ride then she drooled on my jeans
She was crazy in her eyes and busting at the seams
And then she took a matchstick and scraped at her wrist
But her skin wasn′t breaking so she made herself a fist
I guess the years at the spa had grown a tough hide
It ain't easy to pull
It ain′t easy to pull
It ain't easy to pull off Orange County suicide


Behind the orange curtain way on the other side
Our future looked uncertain as we hit El Toro Y
We saw the devil walking while angels ran around
There was no sense in talking the ship had run aground
A look of desperation came all over her face
Crying and cussing stepping up the pace
She grabbed the box of little matches guess she wasn't satisfied
It ain′t easy to pull
It ain′t easy to pull
It ain't easy to pull off Orange County suicide

If you do it you got to do it for real
Don′t do it just to see how I feel
If you do it you got to do it for real
Go through it then tell me how you feel

She was pretty as a flower and sturdy as a pearl
She came with all the powers you would want in a girl
But nothing's ever simple when you′re on the cutting edge
Smoothing every wrinkle and honouring every pledge
In a house of cards she was playing every hand
The world on her finger and me at her command
She was all wound up and she finally came untied
It ain't easy to pull
It ain′t easy to pull
It ain't easy to pull off Orange County suicide
