Drive By (For K)

Recommended Posts

There was a drive-by, Sunday night
Most of us were in bed, alright
I turned down the light
Then I heard the sirens interrupt the silence

Is this what you wished, to commit a crime?
Is this what you wished, to commit a crime?
Is this what you wished, to commit a crime, commit a crime, commit a crime?

He was a nice guy, really bright
Making money's hard to do right
Guilty was his plight
Now he's in a jail cell for some thirty years now

Is this what you wished, to be serving time?
Is this what you wished, to be serving time?
Is this what you wished, to be serving time, serving time, serving time?

K's a friend of mine
I think about him as he does time
Miss his white wine
Funny I don't feel free even though it's not me

Is this what you wished, to leave me behind?
Is this what you wished, to leave me behind?
Is this what you wished, to leave me behind, me behind, me behind?

Last year, they decided
That his time was up and then he got retried
Double homicide
Sent him onto death row, not to hang around, though

Is this what you wished, did you wanna die?
Is this what you wished, did you wanna die?
Is this what you wished, did you wanna die, wanna die, wanna die?
Did you wanna die, wanna die, wanna die, wanna die?
Did you wanna die?

Revisiting May Jailer and after listening to Fingertips I really wonder what she means by "drive by"

In Fingertips she implies she tried to unalive herself, right? And that her neighbors came to help

 

Quote

 

When I was fifteen, naked, next-door neighbors did a drive-by

Pulled me up by my waist, long hair to the beach side

 

 

 

Is she referencing this same situation in Drive By? (opener of Sirens)

I wonder if the neighbors called the police and those are the sirens she's referring to
