Lee Harvey Oswald/Pornograph
from Wintertape 5: "Keep Smiling, Good Luck Tomorrow" by Roger Heathers
lyrics
The shooter in the balcony
Is closer than you think
The bullet's in the back of my mind
While I'm staring down the bridge
Oh, he was watching everything
The secrets I kept hid
For fear that they would see my mistakes
Or I'd see those older kids
Where's my good fight?
I'm my own Lee Harvey Oswald
Taking my aim through the sight
At my own parade
Assassinating my character
Long live JFK
The shooter in the balcony
Picks off everyone around
I tried to tell you run for your life
But I couldn't make a sound
Where's my good fight?
I'm my own Lee Harvey Oswald
Taking my aim through the sight
At my own parade
Assassinating my character
Long live JFK
Is closer than you think
The bullet's in the back of my mind
While I'm staring down the bridge
Oh, he was watching everything
The secrets I kept hid
For fear that they would see my mistakes
Or I'd see those older kids
Where's my good fight?
I'm my own Lee Harvey Oswald
Taking my aim through the sight
At my own parade
Assassinating my character
Long live JFK
The shooter in the balcony
Picks off everyone around
I tried to tell you run for your life
But I couldn't make a sound
Where's my good fight?
I'm my own Lee Harvey Oswald
Taking my aim through the sight
At my own parade
Assassinating my character
Long live JFK
