Chapter 19: Knocking on Heaven's Door
The killer weighed his options. The way he saw it, he had three choices.
You've got to pick up the pieces
Come on
Sort your trash
You better pull yourself together
Maybe you've got too much trash
Better call
Call the law
When you gonna turn yourself in?
One: He could turn himself in. He had already decided to nix that idea.
Hey Joe
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna run to now
Hey Joe, I said
Where you gonna run to now
Where you gonna go
Two: He could run away. But where would he go?
I'm goin' way down south
Way down to Mexico way, alright
I'm goin way down south
Way down where I can be free
He could flee the country. He though he remembered hearing that Canada won't send you back if you're facing the death penalty. How bad could life in a Canadian prison be?
And there was always Mexico...
Ain't no one gonna find me
Ain't no hang-man gonna
He ain't gonna put a rope around me
You better believe it right now
No one would ever find him if he left the country.
I gotta go now
Hey, Joe
You better run on down
Goodbye everybody
But that would be really hard, he wasn't even sure if he could make it a mile down the road without being stopped. There were probably roadblocks.
Twenty years it's breaking you down, now that you understand there's no one around
Take a breath, just take a seat, your falling apart and tearing at the seams
He knew that left only one option.
He had hoped it wouldn't come to that.
Heaven forbid you end up alone and you don't know why
Hold on tight wait for tomorrow, you'll be alright
But he couldn't just sit here any longer.
Option Three: Suicide.
Mama, put my guns in the ground
I can't shoot them anymore
The dark, black cloud is coming down
Feels like I'm knocking on Heaven's door
He had already given up so much else, why not just leave this life of crime.
There was nothing left to live for here on this earth.
He wanted to make sure that no other human being would ever suffer at his hands.
So hush, little baby
Don't you cry
You know your daddy's bound to die
But all my trials, Lord, will soon be over
All it would take is one little motion.
One little twitch and his trials would come to an end.
Life as he knew it would cease to exist.
He would never have to worry again.
I push the trigger and I pull the thread
I've got to take it on the otherside
Take it on the otherside
Take it on
Take it on
He wouldn't have to suffer the punishment of his crime. Instead he would die the noble death of a samurai who had failed his lord.
How long, how long will I slide
Separate my side; I don't
I don't believe it's bad
Slittin' my throat
It's all I ever...
How noble it would be. Like a gangster of the Prohibition era. Rather than let anyone have the glory of knowing that they killed him, he would kill himself.
Screw the cops.
Almost ready to put his plan into action, he turned on the radio and leaned back and listened with a much clearer head.
When I find myself in times of trouble
Mother Mary comes to me
Speaking words of wisdom
Let it be
