I should'a know back then

When I said

Why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know back then, but then again

I should'a know back then

When I said

Why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know back then, but then again

Knife in my hand and a girl, named Maria

Kneeling by my side

Staring at me with exaltation in her eyes

Speakind to me in spanglish

I don't know who I am but I understand the language

She says, you've been dreaming since the 7th century baby

I should'a know back then

When I said why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know back then

That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen

I should'a know back then

When I said why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know back then, but then again

I got a locust in my throat

Right now she's sleeping

Yesterday she got intoxicated on my speaking

I tried to tell her not to drink all my saliva

I tried to tell not to leave me behind

I said can't you see you're leaving me sore

I swear I heard her laugh as she drunk some more

I should'a know back then

When i said why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know back then

I should'a know back then, but then again

I should'a know back then

When I said why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know back then

That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen

Maria's crying as she takes my knife

She says sometimes I wanna kill myself

But I'm scared that I might die

Sometimes I fly through liquid sky

Faking it all the way to heaven

When I get there I'll tell them that I tried

I tried to save men Mau

But they didn't want what I gave them mau

I tried to save men

But they didn't want what I gave them

I should'a know back then

When I said why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know back then

That i'd wind up on my knee's like a bull in a pen

I should'a know back then

Why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know, know, know

I should'a know, I should'a know I should'a know...

Why, what, who, where, when

I should'a know back then

That i'd wind up on my knee

She says

Hold on

One last thing
