	Tony Jones stabbed Alice Jones						Tony Jones stabbed Alice Jones
1	On their first anniversary down in Dallas, Texas						On their first anniversary	1
2	In a small apartment with nobody present						Down in Dallas, Texas	2
3	He pulled out a knife and he stuck it to her						In              a small apartment	3
4							With nobody present	4
5	He left her bleeding on the floor in the kitchen						He pulled out a knife	5
6	With cake on her fingers and her wedding ring holding						And he stuck it to her	6
7	In       her hand was a note that said the wicked must suffer						He left her bleeding	7
8	And he drove off quickly to his girlfriend's apartment						ON the floor in the kitchen	8
9							With cake on her fingers	9
10	But who really suffers in the end?						And her wedding ring holding	10
11	It's easy enough for us to pretend that						In her hand was a note	11
12							That said the wicked must suffer	12
13	Everything's all right with the family						And he drove off quickly	13
14	Everything is safe here at home						To his girlfriend's apartment	14
1	Everything's all right with the family							1
2	The beds are made but there's no sheets on							2
3								3
4	From the courtroom stand Tony, said he was sorry							4
5	That he was sad and mixed up and he didn't know what he was doing							5
6	That he'd always loved Alice and he begged for forgiveness							6
7	So he threw himself on the mercy of the jury							7
8								8
9	And he told how his father had beat and abused him							9
10	Back in grade school in the basement den							10
11	And that maybe prison was the best thing for him							11
12	And he said, "Oh God, can You forgive me?" Yeah							12
13								13
	But who really suffers in the end?						But who really suffers in the end?
	It's easy enough for us all to pretend that						It's easy enough for us all to pretend that
