Beautiful and Light

Katie feels a snap and switches off the tap Walks out to fetch the shotgun from the shed Feels just a little rush and climbs into the car Slow down a moment Drives out along the lane and calmly into town Stops to let the music come around Walks down to the bank and draws a quiet breath Slow down a moment Switch on, all's fine, burn out, on fire Stitched tight, beautiful and light Lights a cigarette, climbs the marble stairs And waves the gun around To paint a meaning Money comes like rain Feel this; easy feeling She drives the car away And laughs and smiles Stops to count the notes out for a while And when she's done, drives on For a sunrise
