With his memories and his lies
And every night he’d make his way downtown
Where he’d meet up with his boys
They broke the door down, they broke the door down
And they found him lying on the floor

They took him down with such heavy handed force
That his blood was all over the place
They broke the door down, they broke the door down
And they found him lying on the floor

The sky was dark and the clouds were grey
When he took the long last walk
The children played with a hop skip and jump
On the sidewalk marked with chalk
They broke the door down, they broke the door down
And they found him lying on the floor
