Tear Drop Tattoo
Words and Music by Robert Lane

One night not a special night I went walking with my gun
Intent on causing pain to it could have been anyone
Could have been anyone

I didn’t even stop to ask my victim’s name
Or to discover the country from which he came
Country from which he came

I murdered a stranger that I had never met
As far as I can see people deserve what they get
Deserve what they get

Because I’m evil, so evil
Please lock me away

After the murder I watched from my hotel
Saw all those people living through my home made hell
Through my home made hell

And I can’t feel remorse for the things that I do
I feel proud enough to carve a tear drop tattoo
Carve a tear drop tattoo

I laughed at his family while standing in the dock
There is a part of me takes pleasure in the shock
Takes pleasure in the shock

Because I’m evil, so evil
Please lock me away

So send me down for as long as you can
Prison is no problem for a man like I am
For a man like I am

One night not a special night I went walking with my gun
Intent on causing pain to it could have been anyone
Could have been anyone
