Steve Poltz - I k**ed Walter Matthau lyrics

There was a truckstop, there was danger And the FBI The night was steeped in intrigue There was a full moon in the sky Me head was tired My eyes were wired and blue You whispered in my ear There was a motel to the right We checked into a room And bedded down for the night I turned the tube on Set my dreams into flight I was floating in a hurricane But still driving in my car There was an old guy in the crosswalk They said he was a movie star The roads were icy Things got dicey that night I k**ed Walter Matthau In a hit and run last night His body was beneath my car And i took off in flight The cops were all around me And the news trucks were there My mom and dad were watching From a tv at the fair My dad was trying to win a tv set By throwing darts My ma was right beside him Acting like the queen of hearts The news was breaking They were shaking in fright The carny asked my dad If that was Steve Poltz on the tube He denied he knew me He said he didn't have a clue They left quickly Feeling sickly and light I k**ed Walter Matthau In a hit and run last night His body was beneath my car And i took off in flight The cops were all around me And the news trucks were there My mom and dad were watching From a tv at the fair I woke up from my dream And you were staring right at me You wiped the sweat off of my head You were down upon one knee I held you near, you squeezed the fear right out of me The tv set was blaring We were watching CNN The anchor looked real serious Breaking news was coming in They said "Walter Matthau pa**ed away in his sleep last night" Walter Matthau, won't you rest in peace tonight
