Stabbed to Death Outside San Juan

The winter's wet, and the summer's hot

Take a match in Puerto Rico, why not

Power and adrenaline flowing like amber

From the recesses of the earth, put on your waders

And twitch when the water runs high sometimes

Twitch when the tide ebbs low

See the sights, maybe go downtown

Sometimes you get some heat, sometimes it follows you around

When the blade hits the bone, everybody hears it sing

Shower room full of people, no one hears a goddamned thing

A twitch when the current runs wild sometimes

Twitch when the contact howls

All that racket out there in the arena

I’m on a stretcher, here come the cleaners

And the sky goes dark and there I am

Climbing down the Hertzsprung-Russell diagram

I drop from the top of my tall steel cage

Drop to the concrete floor
